Noro Ito has long been a popular choice for Andrea Mowry’s “Nightshift.” This triangular shawl is decorated with bands of a simple slip stitch pattern, trimmed with an attached i-cord edging, then finished off with a clever striped i-cord bind off. Though Mowry calls for six different colors, two balls of Noro Ito will do the color changing for you – just switch colors A and B every 20 rows.
Carolina came in wearing this gorgeous “Nightshift” in two shades of Noro Ito, knit for her by her aunt, Vera. It inspired us to order these new shades!
Here’s a color combination similar to Vera’s beautiful creation, followed by a few more ideas from us.
Look for Noro Ito in the aran weight section here at HYS – see you there!

This is beautiful.
I’ve just bought the pattern.
Can you tell me is it only 2 balls required to knit the scarf? Thank you.

Absolutely, just one 200g ball of Noro Ito in each color. Have fun knitting it!

So in the pattern after setup you just knit 20 then switch and not pay attention to A and B in section 1 or is it 20 from the beginning set up ?

To use 2 colors of Noro Ito for this pattern, you’ll consider one color A and the other color B, then switch them every 20 rows. Like so:
X=A and Y=B for 20 rows , then
X=B and Y=A for 20 rows , and keep switching throughout. Hope this helps!
