Sunshine is the perfect pattern for one skein of variegated, gradient, or tonal sock yarn. The lace rays of sunshine add just enough interest while at the same time keeping the pattern easily memorizable.

Ripples is a lace-weight, larger version of Sunshine. The space between the lace rows gradually grows just as ripples on a pond.

The crescent form of both versions fits wonderfully on your shoulders and has nice, long tails which can be comfortably tied in place. They can both be easily adapted to any length of yarn.
