The Sweet Dreams Shawl is a two-colour fingering weight shawl designed using my signature “curled” shawl shape.

I’m sorry to tell you that this pattern wasn’t created from some magical inspiration. I wasn’t walking along a countryside path, or enjoying a nice day out. I was simply just so desperate to see what these two colours looked like knitted up together. So I started knitting. That’s it. Sorry.

I finally chose the wave-like patterns, after much ripping out of other stitch patterns, because I was knitting while my little one slept in the evenings. We used to put on beach sounds “white noise” as apparently, it would help him sleep.

Later on, we found out it was actually waking him up more often (because noise is for day time and quiet is for night time of course!), but I hope he had sweet dreams all the same.
