Join us in Ambah’s Ravelry group for the March-Mini-Munch KAL and knit your Aurora Hunter (or any Ambah-mini pattern) in excellent company.

Knit a shawl to keep you cosy on those dark nights you’re out Aurora hunting. The Aurora Hunter’s Shawl is perfect for a 12 mini-skein set or knit the small version with a gradient yarn - either mini-skeins or a full 100 g gradient. Pair these with a strong contrast and you’re ready to knit up those Aurora beams into a beautiful shawl. Juicy garter stitch paired with simple intarsia makes this an engaging project. An avid Aurora hunter myself, I have been fortunate enough to see the Aurora Australis regularly in my local area.   

The shawl is knit with fingering weight yarn. Take a look at your bag of sock leftovers. You won’t need a large amount of any one colour. If you change colours mid row because you’ve run out it won’t matter. The Auroras are all over colour and if your shawl has mixed up stripes that’s okay.

I will play with colour combinations when I get home. We can have fun with Emma’s Practically Perfect Smalls.
