As I was refining and knitting the Sunset shawl pattern, I attended a beautiful wedding on Whitefish Lake in northern Montana. The sky was clear blue, then sky and mountains turned shades of lavender and purple as the sunset progressed. The “hills” in the lace pattern will always remind me of the distant landscape and the couple’s special day.

My Sunset shawl is an asymmetric triangle, starting with two cast on stitches, predominantly in Garter stitch. Garter stitch stripes, German short rows and my sunset-colored mountain lace are features. The Icelandic bind off provides a perfect ending.

May I also suggest any fingering weight, one skein semisolid/tonal PLUS one skein variegated/speckled such as Blue Moon Fibers Socks That Rock Lightweight, Sweet Georgia Tough Love Sock, Blue Moon BFL Fingering.

My shawl is one size. After blocking the Garter st gauge is:
25 sts and 26 rows = 4”/10 cm

Materials: Approximately 360 yds/330 m of fingering-weight yarn in Color A and 330 yds/305 m in Color B
