Daybreak Shawl

Daybreak is a generous crescent-shaped shawl that combines smooth stockinette sections with an airy lace pattern and beautifully defined points along the lower edge. The design works especially well with gradient yarns, allowing the changing colors to take center stage while the lace adds texture and visual interest.

The shawl begins with just a few stitches and is worked from the top down. Regular increases along the edges on both right-side and wrong-side rows gradually create the crescent shape.

Alternating stockinette and lace sections make the project varied and enjoyable to knit. The pointed lace edge opens up beautifully during blocking and gives the shawl its distinctive finish.

This pattern is intended for advanced knitters who are comfortable working knit, purl and twisted stitches, increases and decreases, yarn overs, picking up stitches, and reading a knitting chart.
