This pattern came out when our world was still reeling from Covid, and some of what I wrote then still holds …. So, instead of waiting around for “normal” to return, do something you love, and if you love knitting, try knitting a Walking Rainfall. This is a fast, peaceful knit using one skein of luscious fingering weight yarn. The beautiful model (my co-worker Ellen) wears one knit in Vortex Yarns Mandala (fingering weight merino) in color Batchelor Button, soon to be available at www.vortexyarns.com.

Knit one for yourself and for a friend or neighbor or stranger and share the joy of what you love to do with your world.

Finished size: Adult S, M, L. The lower circumference should fit comfortably around your upper arms + chest, so measure yourself :smiley:

After blocking: Depth 13-15”; circumference at neck about 30/36/41”; circumference at lower edge about 47/58/61”

Gauge: in stockinette with size 7 needles, about 16 stitches and 20 rows in 4 inches after blocking.
