The Sun Stop Shawl is a lovely exploration of texture and stripe. There are sections of yarn-contrast colourwork where we mix the floof and silk, patches of daisy stitch and geometric openwork, and eyelet stripes, and it's finished with a fluffy hem and pretty picots.

It's fun to knit, too - the pattern switches often enough to keep you engaged, and each section itself is a fairly straightforward knit. The last section, with those subtle fluffy stripes, practically knits itself. (And, ok, the picot bindoff might generate a few swears, but it is absolutely worth it.)

My working-name for this shawl was EPIC, and so is the shawl. 

The kit contains all the yarn you need to knit the shawl and a PDF copy of the pattern.

Yarn details

2 skeins each of

  • Caitin Silk (400m, 100gr, 100% silk)
  • and either Caitin Fluff (400m, 50gr, 65% kid mohair, 35% silk) or Caitin Suri (400m, 50gr, 65% baby suri alpace, 35% silk).

Colour details

When you're picking your shades try to get two that will contrast at least a little with each other, but ideally are not polar opposites on the colour wheel as they'll be blended together in the shawl. I would avoid combining Jumping Through Leaves and Playing Dinosaurs, for example.

I used Honey Honey and Peony for my shawl.

  • Buttercup - a bold, bright yellow
  • Honey Honey - rich, warm honey
  • Peony - a glowing bright pink
  • Return of the Stove God - a warm deep orange
  • Jumping through leaves - warm red
  • Picking blackberries - deep pink-edged purple
  • Twilight rains - soft lilacs and greys
  • Shadowdance - deep grey with hints of pinks and purples
  • We can navigate by starlight - dark blue with random specks of white
  • Cerulean - a bright cool blue
  • Playing dinosaurs - a grassy green
  • Seaglass - softer greens
  • Spearmint ice - a very pale minty green
  • Through the fog - barely-there cool mint
  • We're so far from shore now - soft sea greeny-gren
  • Silver the seas - soft sea blue-grey
  • Snowcloud - the palest of greys
