Rising Sun
This is a versatile and adaptable shawl pattern suitable for knitters of all skill levels. You can use any yarn weight of your choice, as the pattern does not specify yarn weight or yardage. Whether you prefer a lightweight shawl for summer or a cozy wrap for winter, this design is highly adjustable to meet your unique needs and desired size. The shawl beautifully showcases the rich hues of long color-changing yarn but also looks stunning in solid yarns. Get creative with your yarn selections: create a striking contrast between the body and the border, or opt for a cohesive look by using tones that harmonize.
SUGGESTED YARNS: Feel free to dive into your stash—any yarn you have on hand is perfect for this project! The amount you need will depend entirely on what you already possess, and I provide helpful tips for adjusting the pattern according to your available yardage. You can experiment with different colors, including solid, semisolid, gradient, or self-striping yarns. However, I recommend avoiding very busy variegated yarns, as they may detract from the overall elegance of the shawl.
This shawl pattern not only allows you to use your creativity but also provides an excellent opportunity for stash-busting. Perfect for gifts or personal use, this adaptable design will become a favorite in your knitting repertoire.
