You may recall that I purchased some Knit Picks Chroma yarn in Lollipop to make a Haruni shawl. Well here it is!
I got the idea to use the yarn for this pattern after seeing one created by a Ravelry user. It’s a fantastic way to take advantage of the gradually transitioning colors – just look at the neat ripples it makes on the edging!
I had a lot of trouble keeping my center stitches even in this pattern. I thought it might just be because of the varying thicknesses found in the yarn, but I had the same problem with the one I made with my Comfy yarn.
There are two edging options for this project – a crocheted edging and a knit I-cord edging. For the sake of trying something new, I went with the I-cord edging. Now that I’m done, I think I would have preferred the daintier crocheted edging option. Oh well – now I know! Practice makes perfect, and I still need a lot of practice. 🙂

Hah the Haruni is always such a winner! I don’t know how I haven’t made one yet. Love the way the pattern shows off the rainbowiness on the border.
Yes, it’s an awesome pattern! I have made two so far, and I don’t often repeat patterns. 🙂
Is this like self striping yarn? Just beautiful! What color is the other one you made? I think this would take me a year to do!
Yes, it is a color-transitioning yarn. I made the other one with this yarn: https://babycakescreates.com/2013/09/04/in-my-stash-sea-foam-knitpicks-comfy-fingering-yarn/ It’s not too hard – it just takes some concentration. 🙂
This is stunning! I think you’ve done a really wonderful job!
Thank you so much! 🙂
I saw this at KP’s, you did a great job. Beautiful colors and knitting.
Thank you! 🙂
