Promises in the Dark
D E T A I L S
Promises in the Dark is a triangular shaped shawl, knit from the top edge, down. The pattern is created using the mosaic knitting technique, using just one color per row.
Knitting with Spincycle is always such a treat! The mosaic patterning of “Promises in the Dark” highlights the slow and dramatic color transitions of Dream State beautifully. Combine any of Spincycle’s gorgeous shades with a dark and moody shade of Harrisville Designs / nightshades … or possibly invert your colors and use Harrisville’s daylights … whichever way you choose, I invite you to enjoy the ride!
The mosaic section is charted only.
There is a video tutorial link provided to use as a general guideline for reading mosaic charts.

Used for Sample 2 / blue(ish) & black:

A couple of the test knitters (including myself/Sample 1) used all of 2 skeins of Dream State and a couple test knitters (including Spincycle Yarns/Sample 2) needed a 3rd skein. Therefore, you may wish to have the additional yardage of C2, to be safe.
