Sunshine State of Mind
🎶 Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin’ my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay! 🎶
Designed with a soft and squishy long end to wrap around your neck to keep you nice and warm. This shawl starts with an easy relaxing beginning then combines stitches that are Zip-a-dee-doo-dah fun to knit.

Notions: Cable needle (optional) included are instructions for a fun easy way to do these cables without a needle, Stitch Markers, T-pins and blocking wires for blocking
Gauge: 23 stitches = 4 inches in Garter stripes after blocking. Although gauge is not crucial for this project, it will affect the finished size and yarn requirements. A looser gauge will result in the use of more yarn.
Finished Size: asymmetrical triangle - 76” x 60” x 40”
Yarn Substitution Notes:
This pattern was written with a mohair laceweight yarn as C1. If you have a mohair sensitivity you can use a wool or alpaca lace weight yarn, this will give you a similar lightweight drape to the sample shawl shown. You could also knit it using a fingering weight yarn. Keep in mind this will produce a shawl that is still beautiful but less lightweight and flowy than the shawl shown in the photos.
