Knit yourself a sweet Lunation Shawlette to mark the phases of a lunar cycle. This is designed for DK weight yarn and results in a sweet scarf or shawlette to keep you cosy. I knit mine up in Hedgehog Fibres Tweedy yarn, and I love the speckle effect of this yarn. No need to stick to neutrals though; like the Ocean Moon Shawl that provided the inspiration for Lunation, there is no limit to the colours you can choose for your moons for your version. Be inspired by the moons we celebrate each year: Harvest moon, Blood moon, Pink moon, Rainbow moon, Blue moon! The moons are created using the intarsia technique.

Note: The moon intarsia instructions are charted only (no corresponding written instructions)
Pattern purchase includes an Intarsia Swatch tutorial with accompanying heart swatch instructions as a separate download.
