Starry Dawn is top-down round yoke sweater that features deep-running colourwork, inspired by the sign of Auseklis in Latvian mythology.
Auseklis is a Latvian pagan God of the dawn; many folk songs talk about a celestial wedding in which he is the groom of the daughter of the sun.
Auseklis symbolises the first star that appears in the morning on the east side of the sky, the sign of light defeating dark. Latvians believe that starry patterns have a magical meaning - they protect you from all evil.

Rīta zvaigznēs ir no augšas uz leju adīts džemperis ar rakstainu izklaidu teili, iedvesmojoties no Ausekļa zīmes latviešu mitoloģijā.
Auseklis ir latviešu pagānu rītausmas dievs; daudzas tautasdziesmas attēlo debesu kāzas, kurās viņš ir Saules meitas līgavainis.
Auseklis simbolizē pirmo zvaigzni, kas parādās no rīta debess austrumu pusē, gaismas uzvaru pār tumsu. Zvaigžņotam rakstam latviešu ticējumos ir maģiska nozīme – tas pasargāja no ļauna.
