This shawl brings you the blue summer sky with “feathery curtains stretching o’er the sun’s bright couch”. (Percy Bysshe Shelley) Choose other colors and watch your project turn into… a spring meadow with blooming flowers… a Japanese cherry orchard… just use your imagination and your shawl will tell its own story.

Sunny with a Few Clouds is worked from the top down and shaped with easy short rows. Tutorials for the cable-cast on and the lifted increase are included. The pattern contains both charted and written-out instructions.

This pattern can be purchased individually or as part of my Shawleidoscope collection.
