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.
This is a double kit: please choose your first colourway here, and leave a note in checkout with your second.
