Intro:

Hi everyone! I’m just over here checking all the things off the list! Since forever you’ve been asking for the “half” sunburst tutorial or the Triangle Sunburst. I’ve wanted to create a simple sunburst shawl for some time—and since the Island Time Blanket pattern is a current favourite it seemed like the perfect time to make the sister pattern.

This shawl uses basic shapes to create a standard triangular granny square shawl. It uses the same large sunbursts that are featured in the Island Time Blanket Pattern but with the addition of half sunbursts to complete the edges. For this particular pattern sample I wanted to use a fun variegated hand dyed yarn that allowed me to work up the sunburst motifs without any colour changes. Lets let all these gorgeous yarns do the work for us, am I right!? So grab a yarn that makes your heart sing and lets get to it :)

Pattern Notes

Gauge is important! Please adjust hook size to meet gauge of pattern.
Shawl is constructed using CJAYG-where each sunburst is turned into a square while attaching to the previous square. IF you wish to join using a different method-please note you will require more yarn.
Please note, the Large Sunbursts are worked (and written) as a solid-coloured motif. If you choose to make multi-coloured, please fasten off at the end of each rnd and join new colour for the next rnd.
