Sunflower Swirls Shawl

Important notice: This written pattern has been reviewed and updated on September 17th, 2021. Tutorial images and video have also been added.

Happy fall days everyone! Because the chill weather is approaching fast, and so, I'm trying my best make as many projects as I can before moving to my new Christmas Ideas like every year. The Caron One Pound yarn was challenging to me, I took a tour of every project done using it on Pinterest, and came to a decision to knit a shawl using a simple pattern. Its bright color helped making a bold final appearance. I hope you enjoy knitting this shawl as much as I did!

Skill level: Intermediate
