I love colour in my projects. Shadow Dash allows a bright pop of colour to shine. The simple slipped stitch pattern makes for a straight forward knit. You might be wondering why it isn’t a repeating pattern. That’s because the dots and dashes reminded me of Morse code, see if you can find the word “knit”.
