Accessibility statement: Pattern also includes a large print version. This includes: full written instructions, all text in black, Arial font in size 22 used throughout with no italics.

Inspired by the southern lights, this two colour shawl uses one skein of BFL Supersock from Travelknitter in the ‘Midnight Fireflies’ colourway and one skein of 4ply from Peak District Yarns in the ‘Whaley Welldressing’ colourway. This crescent shaped shawl uses short rows and a knit on edging to represent the swirling colours of the lights whilst also creating a deeper shawl. A mix of stocking stitch and simple lace keeps this a soothing knit that is easy to pick up and put down yet will result in a beautiful shawl full of interesting detail.
