Happy colors come together with easy combinations of bound-off and cast-on stitches to create lacy circles of light for the sun to shine through. While the shaping is unique, the basic stitches are quite simple, and I’ve linked video tutorials to guide you along the way. Frequent color changes will have your needles dancing across the yarn like sunlight on the waves, eagerly working toward the next color. The final accessory will brighten any outfit and keep you warm, even during the darkest days. **SIZES** One size Wingspan: 91” / 231 cm Depth: 28.5” / 72.5 cm **YARN** Emma’s Yarn PRACTICALLY PERFECT SOCK (80% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon; 400 yards / 100 grams); recommended yardage includes 20% more than what was used in the sample: **MC:** 1 skein OR 400 yds / 366 m fingering weight yarn **C1-C10:** 1 20g mini-skein OR 80yds / 73m fingering weight yarn in EACH of 10 colors *Sample shown in ‘Kale’ (MC) and ‘Slice of Sunshine’ Theme Pack (C1-C10)* **NEEDLES** US 4 (3.5mm), or as required to meet gauge **GAUGE** 16 sts and 36 rows = 4” / 10 cm in garter stitch after blocking (NOTE: Gauge is not crucial, but it will affect finished dimensions and yardage) **NOTIONS** Knitting: tapestry needle, 1 removable stitch marker, 22 stitch markers (optional for repeats) Blocking: blocking mats, wires, and pins; see my recommendations **SKILL LEVEL** Intermediate Tech editing by Cathy Susko ***For updates on my latest pattern releases and sales, sign up for my newsletter [here](http://eepurl.com/dePhNH), join my [group page](http://www.ravelry.com/groups/paper-daisy-creations), or follow me on Instagram (paperdaisycreations)!***
