Eye of Dagon

This stunning rectangular shawl, named "Dagon" after the renowned short story by H.P. Lovecraft, combines horizontal Garter stitch stripes with a smooth Stockinette stitch background, featuring captivating dropped stitch "eyes." As one of my favorite authors, Lovecraft's unique storytelling inspired this design, making it not only a piece of wearable art but also a tribute to literary creativity. The Dagon shawl pattern is both minimalistic and striking, emphasizing the beauty of hand-dyed yarns such as "Bugga!" from Cephalopod Yarns. For this project, you’ll need just a single skein of Bugga!, which is celebrated for its vibrant colorways, exceptional softness, and outstanding quality. I chose the mesmerizing colorway "Merveille du Jour Moth" for the shawl featured in the accompanying photos, perfectly showcasing the interplay of texture and color. Measuring approximately 37.5” x 11”, this versatile shawl is designed to suit various styles and can be worn in multiple ways. Additionally, the pattern includes detailed instructions on how to easily extend the length of the shawl should you wish to create a more dramatic effect. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner looking to refine your skills, this pattern is perfect for you. Embrace your creativity with the Dagon shawl and let your knitting journey unfold! Explore the wonders of hand-dyed yarn and create your very own Lovecraft-inspired masterpiece today.
