Chasing Dawn

“Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Each new day brings the promise of fresh adventures and unexpected surprises, and these socks are the latest adventure for your needles. Worked from the top-down, this is the fingering weight version of my ‘Waiting For Twilight’ DK socks design. Knit with fingering weight sock yarn, this pair wears wonderfully as everyday socks. The simple patterning is easy to memorize and is a great way to highlight a speckled or variegated yarn. Take time to enjoy the moment, even when you are Chasing Dawn.
