I have a pattern in the latest SweetGeorgia Yarns Fall with Sweet Georgia, Vol. 1 collection.

 

 

 

Winter Sunrise is an asymmetrical triangular shawl that blends two weights of yarn. The shawl starts with simple, classic garter stitch in Tough Love Sock, a fingering weight yarn. The shawl moves from garter stitch to lace and also switches to a lace weight yarn, CashSilk Lace. The shawl shifts back into garter stitch and ends with a picot bind off.

You might have noticed that this is not the first design I’ve done that uses these two yarns together. Baya from the Summer 2014 issue of Pom Pom Quarterly also uses these two yarns.

I’m kind of obsessed with this asymmetrical shawl shaping so I wanted to play with weight and texture in this design. If you’re curious about how this kind of shawl is worked, you can see my original sketch to see the direction of knitting. You only cast on a few stitches and increases are worked along one edge of the shawl.

My original swatch for the design used the same color of both yarns so you can easily change this from a two color project to a one color project. Even though they’re different weights, I think these two yarns work wonderfully together and with SweetGeorgia’s amazing colors, it’s hard to go wrong with either the two color combo or a monochromatic look. Winter Sunrise is available for purchase from SweetGeorgia or on Ravelry. SweetGeorgia are also hosting a KAL in their Ravelry group beginning on October 12 with some lovely prizes available. I wish I had the time to knit along.
