Sunshine is the Fingering 4ply pattern from the second annual Whackalong MKAL which is a live-design event. The idea is to use stash yarn and have a little fun while I make up a patten as we go along. This is the final tech edited version of the pattern which includes full written instructions, chart, and tick sheet.

Yarn
MC (most variegated): 50g Fingering (4ply) weight yarn (sample used 36g Fiber Lily Swish Sock which is 400m/437y per 100g/3.53oz col. Goldfusion)
CC1 (semi-solid): 100g Fingering (4ply) weight yarn (sample used 94g Fiber Lily Swish Sock which is 400m/437y per 100g/3.53oz col. Leaves of Change)
CC2 (variegated or solid): 50g Fingering (4ply) weight yarn (sample used 34g Fiber Lily Swish Sock which is 400m/437y per 100g/3.53oz col. Dream State)

Needles & Notions
4mm (US 6) needles. I like to use an 80cm (31 1/2”) circular needle set but straight are fine also.
Cable needle. Stitch markers (min. 2, max. 69). Removable marker or safety pin (optional).

Tension/Gauge
26 sts and 34 rows per 10cm (4”) square over garter stitch after blocking.

Finished Measurements
Approx. 45cm deep at centre x 190cm wide (18” x 75”) after blocking.
