A blazing sunset over an electric ocean green. You sip a frozen drink as distant music wafts toward you on the flower-scented breeze. Brilliant colors streak the sky until the sun dips below the horizon, muting everything but the steady crash of waves on the beach below you.

Welcome to a taste of paradise. Welcome to Tahitian Sunset.

Tahitian Sunset is a fabulous little lace cowl knitting pattern. It’s got the relaxing waves of garter stitch and the glorious brilliance of bright simple lace. Worked flat and joined at the back, this cowl is a bit of island dreams you can carry with you.
