Design Tails episode featuring Neon Sunshine KAL planning details.
Knit up some retro rays of sunshine! Choose between a three-sun rectangle wrap or a single-sun square and bring your mini skeins out to play. Each stripe can be knit with a 10 g mini skein, with 24 total for the three suns and 8 for the single sun, making this perfect for a 24 mini skein set or a stash dive or your favourite leftovers. Garter stitch keeps it relaxed and beginner friendly intarsia keeps this project interesting.
