Daybreak Scarf: Free Scarf Knitting Pattern

Daybreak Scarf

In The Odyssey, the goddess Dawn is invariably called “rosy-fingered Dawn,” and as such, she tends to bring good things: brightness, blooms, birth, sky-touching. The rosy warmth of our Daybreak Scarf embraces the same optimism, bringing with it substance, depth, and a heady outlook on a new day.

Our Daybreak Scarf knitting pattern, knit up in our Rose Granite Cashmere Merino Bloom yarn, is a super soft layer for any kind of odyssey: over mythological seas or through early-morning subway commutes.

We suspect it will become a new classic for chilly days both close to home and on epic adventures. The stitch, the same one traditionally used for sock heels of socks, makes for an exceptionally cushiony, lofty, cozy scarf.

Plus the knitting pattern is simple and speedy. If only Penelope, at her loom, had access to such craft. It’s an easy two-row repeat, where both rows are just knit one, slip one. From there, it’s your tale to tell: “Soon Dawn appeared and touched the sky with roses!”

This scarf will tend to roll in on itself a bit. That’s why we made it extra wide, and we think it’s super cozy and beautiful how it curves into your neck!
