This beginner-friendly design plays with color and construction to create a versatile, eye-catching wrap. The instructions are easy to memorize, making Summersky perfect for social, TV and travel knitting.

Shaped like a rectangle with pointed ends, Summersky begins at each tip. The two halves are knitted toward its center, where they are joined seamlessly with triangles. Simple stripes and strategic increase and decrease stitches create striking textured diagonals.

Gradient yarn will give you a glorious ombre effect, or you can use a gradient set, a collection of mini-skeins or scrap yarns, self-striping yarns or even two solid yarns. The color possibilities are endless!

A few special details included in the pattern:

• How to customize width and/or length to make the most of your yarn
• Illustrations of the effects you can create depending on how you place your colors
• Templates that you can color in to plan your project — fun!

Instructions are fully written.
