Daydreamer (Libra) is available individually and as part of the Zodiac Collection. 12 patterns inspired by each Zodiac sign.

Libras are compassionate, kindhearted, and empathetic. They usually dislike conflict and they will go out of their way to avoid confrontations. They love to have company and put a lot of weight on the opinions of others. Libra’s like to be seen as the responsible person who can balance out the turbulent elements around them.
Libras have a feminine and romantic style. This sign strives to find the perfect balance between casual and glamorous. My goal was to find the perfect combination for the contrasting taste. I choose stripes and asymmetry to convey modernity and the lace border and colors to represent their romantic side.

Are you a Libra? I would love to hear from you. Let me know in the comments if the pattern fits your personality.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
This asymmetrical triangular shawl is worked flat from the right tip towards the left edge. The body of the shawl is worked in garter stitch and it is divided by garter and stockinette stitch stripes of contrasting color. The border is a beautiful and simple lace stitch and it is easy to resize depending on the amount of yarn you have.
For my sample, I’m using just two colors, but it’s a great pattern for leftovers and to experiment with stripes of different colors.
