Relaxing Sunset
This was designed to be an easy and relaxing project, especially good for summer travel. The fabric is lightweight and airy, yet provides warmth on chilly summer evenings. It uses a two color star stitch pattern the whole way through, creating an interesting lace texture. The sample used three colors that effortlessly blend into each other.
I used three skeins of fingering weight yarn. My sample was with a superwash merino, but you can easily substitute for your favorite fiber. I used all of each skein.
