This knit square pattern is inspired by Emily Henry’s novel, “Great Big Beautiful Life”. It’s a simple knit/purl pattern with a four garter stitch border. Recommended to use 7 colors of DK or Worsted weight yarn with 9 mm needles. This pattern is non-reversible. Other than the borders, odd rows will be the “right side” and even rows will be the “wrong side”.

The vibrancy and visibility of the sun is based on your yarn color choices. I recommend three yellows/oranges that are close in color and three pinks that are close in color.
