Dancing in the Rain is named after the dropped stitch sections, which always remind me of raindrops and streaming water. This is a fun, addicting knit that is easily memorized and customizable. It is written for fingering weight yarn, which creates a lightweight shawl with a lot of drape. However, feel free to make this pattern yours by using the yarn weight and color schemes that you love! I think it would look beautiful in a solid, tonal, speckled, faded, or multi-color scheme.
This pattern uses simple stitch techniques and one basic lace motif. No experience required.
This pattern design is a collaboration with Running on Yarn. She is offering a 30% off your total order of fingering weight yarn if you purchase Running on Yarn yarn for this test knit!
Our goal is to have the pattern published August 1st, but if this is an unreasonable timeline, I am willing to extend the testing period slightly.
