Introducing our July 2026 inspiration color Rainbow Clouds in Silky Twist.
I designed this Taj Tunic in SIlky Twist specifically to show off this interested patterning colorway, but any ombre shades in Silky Twist would be amazing.

This unusual pattern has a modular motif, and is knitted in 1 piece from the bottom up for identical front and back.
Then the two pieces are joined in the sleeve area and short sleeves are added on the angle.
Use the same pattern for all the sizes, just change the needle size and the gauge depending on size you are making. The angular style is so figure-flattering for all sizes and shapes.

Small: 5-1/2 sts and 8 rows = 1” in Lace Pattern (Medium: 4,5
sts and 7 rows = 1” in Lace Pattern; Large: 4 sts and 6 rows = 1”
in Lace Pattern)

4 sks of Silky Twist or 2 sks of Silky Twist 200 are sufficient, but if you are adding sleeves to the larger sizes, an extra skein is recommended.

You can also find the pattern offered with a huge selection of Silky Twist colors at:
