Besides starting from the center of the piece with only those two beginning stitches, it is also intrigueing because it keeps the interest of the knitter with a myriad of color choice selections. Many people on Ravelry have knit it, and it looks quite different each time it is constructed.
Washable sock yarn is a favorite yarn to use for this scarf, although thicker yarns may be chosen. Designer Stephen West says of his pattern:
Daybreak is a semicircular shawl, featuring clear graphic stripes that echo a rising sun. The generous wingspan allows the fabric to drape comfortably around your shoulders and neck. There is plenty of room to play with color in the three sections of this arched shawl. There are three sizes available to knit this shawl.
The photo above shows the Daybreak shawl that I just finished, prior to blocking. This link displays many more variations of the scarf. It is fun to see others' choices in fibers and colors.
Pattern availability can be accessed here for $6. It comes in an immediate download.
After blocking, the scarf mimics the look of a sunrise: a very clever and fun pattern. This is my just finished Daybreak Scarf knit in the medium size; it required about six 50 gram balls of wool, one of which was a sock yarn.
