Embrace the regal beauty of the Sun King shawl - a captivating modular design that combines the warmth of sunshine with the elegance of royal craftsmanship. This innovative pattern creates a stunning asymmetrical shawl through cleverly constructed modules that join seamlessly as you knit, eliminating any tedious seaming work and weaving in tons of loose ends.

The Sun King features two asymmetrical halves with “Waxing” and “Waning” sections. Each half uses the yarns in opposite roles, creating a beautiful interplay of colors that shifts like daylight across the shawl. The modular approach means you’re always working on manageable sections that grow into something magnificent!
