Be Your Own Light is a reminder that the light is always inside you. We are never far from our own inner joy.

The pattern combines the simple beauty of garter stitch with eyelets and bobbles in a contrasting colour. As well as alternating colours, it alternates between being a meditative knit and something a little more interesting.

Each pattern section starts with a quote for your contemplation while knitting.
