This pattern was born at the Summer Solstice 2024 and published on Winter Solstice 2024.

The pattern features a sun centre, with lacy rays coming from that centre point, fanning out around a crescent-shaped shawl.

Although originally designed for DK weight yarn, modifications are detailed for using other yarns, including 4ply gradient yarn cakes.
