Sun Shower Happy Hour, the shawl that is as fun to say as it is to knit! This delightful accessory is crafted on the bias in a long rectangular shape. It will soon become your favorite wrap for cool evenings by the sea or nights out in the city (mine will live draped over a chair when not being worn.. it’s too pretty for a closet). The intricate stitch patterns will captivate you, providing both enjoyment and the chance to experiment with different colors if you feel inspired to do so. Embrace the joy of creating something beautiful and functional with every stitch you knit into this charming shawl.

The crochet version of this pattern can be found here.

This pattern was designed as a collaboration with the dozens of participating shops participating in the 2024 Fiberside Summer Yarn Crawl, a virtual event happing this summer (in July and August). Your purchase of a $10 All Access Pass to the crawl includes a code to download both the knit and crochet versions of this pattern for FREE! Visit FibersideChats.com for more details.

You can join my Ravelry thread here for additional KAL and crawl information! I’ll update as information is released :slightly_smiling_face:
