A soft and thoughtful one-skein shawl, Winter Sunrise by Claire Slade is a simple yet striking design that highlights the beauty of colour and gentle texture.
Designed using a single skein, this shawlette is simple and satisfying to knit — the kind of project you can settle into and enjoy as it grows.
Our sample is shown in Cushy DK, with a soft contrast at one end that adds a subtle point of interest. It’s a lovely detail that gives the finished piece a little extra shape and personality, while keeping the overall look calm and wearable.
Each kit includes 1 skein of Cushy DK. Kits are dyed to order and will ship in approximately 2 weeks. Pattern is not included and can be purchased separately via Ravelry.
Why we love it
This is the kind of project that feels easy from the very beginning.
It’s simple, but not plain — the shaping and gentle eyelet pattern add just enough detail without interrupting the rhythm of the knitting. It’s a lovely piece to work on in quiet moments, and just as easy to wear once finished.
