Add a splash of vibrant color to your knitting with this Sunrise Sunset Square Knitting Pattern! Featuring a stylized horizon in rich earth tones with a rising or setting sun, this cheerful block brings warmth, light, and natural beauty to any handmade project. Whether you’re inspired by morning calm or golden dusk, this design captures the magic of the sky in stitches.

Worked flat with a neat garter stitch border framing the smooth stockinette center, this square is perfect for fantasy-themed blankets, magical pillows, storybook tote bags, wall panels, chair or seat covers, table decorations, bath mats, or even as a bold panel on a cozy sweater.

The pattern includes a full colorwork chart and detailed row-by-row written instructions. Choose intarsia, duplicate stitch, or machine knitting — and let this radiant landscape brighten your handmade creations!

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
The final size of the project will depend on the yarn and needle size you choose. Here are examples for three different yarn weights:
Sport weight (5 ply) with 3.5 mm (US 4) needles:
37 × 37 cm (15″ × 15″) — approx. 120 g
DK (8 ply) or worsted weight (8 ply) with 3.75 mm - 4 mm (US 5-7) needles (sample shown): 46 × 46 cm (18″ × 18″) — approx. 140–180 g
Aran weight (10 ply) with 5.5 mm (US 9) needles:
52 × 52 cm (20″ × 20″) — approx. 250 g

MATERIALS NEEDED
I used DK weight (8 ply) yarn — 140 g of YarnArt Creative, 100% cotton, 50 g ≈ 85 m / 1.8 oz ≈ 93 yds
Knitting needles: 3.75 mm (US 5)
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
If you want to match the sample size, use DK yarn with a similar gauge. However, you’re free to use any yarn you like! This project is highly adaptable — just choose suitable needles for your yarn and enjoy the process.
