Sun sun sun

Sun sun sun (here it comes!) after a(nother) long, cold, (not so) lonely winter!

This generous shawl glows and shines. I knitted it as an invocation and invitation to the sun to come out.

In my head little darling it was the Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel version of the Beatles original that played while I was knitting and trying to will sunshine into being. And still plays whenever I see or wear sun sun sun.

May there be loads of sunshine, real and metaphorical in your life!

construction

sun sun sun (here it comes!) is knitted from narrow tip to wide end.

Three lace panels, introduced one cluster of rays at a time, run along one side.

The panels are flanked by an expanding garter stitch jazzed up with a simple slip-stitch pattern.

The lace repeat runs across the entire top before you bind off and bask.

Brief instructions are provided if you choose to knit from charts.

You’ll also find row by row written instructions & photo tutorials.
