Check out the colorful knit kits, I knitted mine with one of them and I absolutely love the end result!

Sunil is packed with interesting details. From the colorful stripes created with a single “Lightly” skein to the eyelets creating a triangle within a triangle. Then there is the pretty lace pattern that runs up both sides and finally the I-cord bind off which is done with a mini skein in a heavier yarn and contrasting color to make it pop just bit more.

It’s an intriguing shape too, a triangle but with a rounded top edge. Knitted from the bottom up, this piece grows along the sides and also from the middle out. That accounts for the shape~

The pattern is fully written, offers a chart for the lace and it also includes a how to video link for the I-cord bind off method.
