Diamond Dust happens when it’s so cold a cloud of tiny ice crystals forms near the ground. The crystals look like they’re floating in the air, and shimmer around you when the sunlight filters through.

This is the official knit shawl of the 2023 Knit North Yarn Crawl, finally back after a 3 year hiatus!

Diamond Dust is an asymmetrical triangular shawl knit on the bias with a soothing balance of meditative garter stitch and intuitive lace. Pattern is both charted and written.

For reference, model is 5’1”
