Bright beams of sunlight alternate with streaks of dappled shade in this parallelogram-shaped stole. Sun and Shade combines lacey zigzags with sections of easy mosaic knitting. Perfect for pairing a full skein of a main color with a gradient set, this project offers endless possibilities for choosing colors, from highcontrast arrangements to subtle ombré effects. Its width can be customized by adding or subtracting pattern repeats.
