Da Light is a symmetrical arrow-shaped shawl/blanket (schlanket?)… designed to be an absolutely delightful knit. Use a mini-skein kit OR make your own magic ball from stash and knit Da Light for as long you want!

Note: rev1 update:

We have a KAL for Da Luxe and Da Light in my Ravelry group! JOIN US!

Da Light starts at the tip and is worked with super simple mitered square shaping. Da Light has garter stitch sections that alternate with Stockinette Stitch sections that have elongated stitches and garter stitch short row wedges in the middle of them.
The pattern includes an extensive video tutorial and KAL support!
