Indiana Sunset
There’s something magical about the moment when the sun dips down below the horizon. The beams of sunlight are scattered across the atmosphere, resulting in a multitude of colors. This shawl encapsulates the wonder of that moment. Slipped stitch ‘beams’ radiate from the center outward, worked in a long-running gradient that shifts hues as the shawl expands. A solid contrast color creates additional beams and highlights the drama within the complex color changes. While this shawl may look complicated, shawl knitters may find it as relaxing as watching an Indiana Sunset.
