Afterglow is part of my Dusk eBook!

Dusk is a gorgeous new yarn from Hinterland Yarns. I was lucky enough to be given this yarn to design with before its official release. I designed these four shawls Sprout, Afterglow, Eventide and Dusk Light to highlight the lofty, rustic nature of this yarn.

It’s gorgeous yarn, and I have loved designing and knitting each of the shawls in this collection SO much.

Yarn:

2 skeins of Hinterland Dusk in colourway
“Snow” or approximately 571 yards (521 metres) of fingering weight yarn.

Needles:

3.75mm (US5) circular needles in at least a
24” (60cm) cord. Or whatever size needles
it takes you to get gauge.

Notions:

Whichever tools you prefer to weave in
ends, and whichever tools you prefer to
block your shawls.

Gauge:

20 stitches and 34 rows = 4” (10cm) square
knit flat in lace pattern and blocked.

Size:

65” (165cm) measured along the wingspan.
33” (84cm) measured down the deepest part of the triangle.
