Ra and Apep
Discover the captivating lore of Ancient Egypt with our latest knitting pattern inspired by the mythical journey of Ra, the Egyptian sun god. Each day, Ra would carry the sun disk across the vibrant blue sky in his radiant ship, only to face the treacherous serpent Apep during his nightly voyage through the underworld as he sought to return the sun to the east. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Apep would lie in wait at the base of Bakhu, the mountain of the horizon, attempting to thwart Ra's ascent and plunge the world into chaos.
At times, Apep was successful in swallowing the sun boat, leading to mesmerizing solar eclipses. However, Ra's loyal supporters were always steadfast, courageously freeing the sun by cutting a hole in Apep's belly, allowing the golden orb to shine brightly once more. Our knitting pattern, inspired by this timeless myth, invites you to create your own beautiful piece, reflecting the rich history and vibrant colors of Ancient Egypt.
This pattern sample features the striking Indigodragonfly MCN Lace yarn in the whimsical colorway "What the Hay?" offering a stunning visual tribute to Ra's journey. For those seeking alternatives, a suggested substitute yarn is provided below, ensuring that you can bring this enchanting design to life with ease.
