About
During the upcoming winter months, we sure are going to miss the sun’s light and warmth.
Hopefully this shawlette can give you some of that light back! The Rayon de Soleil Shawlette (French
for “Sunlight”) is a graceful and light shawlette that can be knit to any size you wish! Wrap it around
your neck or your shoulders to keep you company while you wait for Spring to return! (And wear it
during the warmer months to soak in all the sun!)
The shawlette is knit in a series of alternating sections of stockinette stitch and eyelet garter
rows, top to bottom, increases on the border shaping it into a crescent form. To top it off, a picot bind off
is used.
