Before Sunrise

Before Sunrise is a stunning crescent-shaped shawl that combines a soft, lofty appearance with just the right amount of drape, making it a perfect accessory for any wardrobe. Crafted using a blend of two strands of lace weight yarn held together—one a smooth yarn for added body and drape, and the other a luxurious lace mohair yarn for softness—this exquisite shawl is sure to elevate your knitting projects. For added versatility, you can also opt to knit the shawl in fingering or sock weight yarn, allowing you to customize it to your preferences.

This unique shawl design showcases reversible stitch patterns, including eyelets, lace/mesh, and garter stitch, which create a beautifully uniform texture on both sides. Knitting Before Sunrise is a delightful experience, as the shawl is constructed from the bottom up and shaped using the short rows technique. This innovative method allows for a graceful silhouette as you progress through the pattern. Moreover, by varying the colors of your yarn or selecting a gradient yarn, you can achieve eye-catching stripes and semicircular shapes that truly highlight the beauty of this accessory.

The Before Sunrise shawl pattern is offered in three distinct sizes, making it accessible to knitters of all skill levels. Whether you’re crafting a chic accessory for yourself or creating a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this pattern is a fantastic choice.
