After the Rain

Discover the beauty of this bandana-style shawlette, meticulously knit using two exquisite colorways of Miss Babs Sojourn, a luxurious cashmere and silk blend. This stunning design features an array of slip stitch patterns, textured lace, eyelets, and bold stripes, creating a unique accessory that is both stylish and functional. The captivating name of this pattern, inspired by the shimmering sheen observed on paved surfaces and blooming flowers after a refreshing rainstorm, truly encapsulates its visual appeal. For this project, I utilized approximately half a skein of each of the two carefully chosen colors, making it a perfect stash-busting project.

In addition to the primary design, you can also explore a variation that I knit using four vibrant colors of another beautiful yarn - Manos del Uruguay Fino, a lush merino and silk blend. Although this version lacks the initial sheen, it offers a delightful play of colors, showcasing the versatility of this pattern. This variation highlights how different yarns can transform the same design, making it a wonderful choice for knitters looking to experiment. Dive into this pattern and unleash your creativity with your own stunning shawlette creations!
