(My posts are few and far between these days due to a chronic illness. I hope you all enjoy this one!)
I like to paint with yarn and crochet, and this is my vision of twilight. I combined the thickness of two strands of yarn held together for the descending night sky with the lighter, more lacy look of one strand of pink to represent twilight.
As always, I’d love to see your photos if you make this and care to share. You can find me @simplethingscrochet on Instagram and Facebook.

Lion Brand Bundle of Love in Nightfall – 4 skeins
Lion Brand Pound of Love in Pink Salt – 1 skein
Hook size L/11 – 8.00 mm
Stitch markers
Gauge:
10 Dc and 9 mixed rows (sc and dc) = 4”

Abbreviations:
Ch – chain

Dc – double crochet
Hdc – half double crochet

Notes:
- Beginning chains don’t count as stitches except where noted.
- I highly recommend using stitch markers to mark the first stitch in each row so you know where to put your last stitch when you come back around.
- You will be holding two strands together when you use the Nightfall color. You will only use one strand for the Pink Salt color.
