Helion
INTRODUCTORY DISCOUNT – 15% OFF
To celebrate the release of Helion, the pattern is available with an introductory discount of 15% during the launch weekend: January 3rd & 4th, 2026 ✨
A perfect opportunity to start the new year with a project full of light, color, and positive energy.
Helion - Sun · Light · Positivity
Helion is a modular shawl design inspired by the idea of starting fresh — with warmth, light, and a positive outlook. Just like the sun rising at the beginning of a new day (or a new year), this pattern invites you to explore color, shape, and rhythm in a calm but engaging knit.
Helion is designed to be highly flexible: you can knit it in six different sizes (XS–XXL) and with any yarn weight you like. The modular construction allows you to adapt the final size to your yarn supply, making this pattern perfect for both carefully planned color combinations and spontaneous stash adventures.
