Today we're bringing you a beautiful three-season wrap that's made for relaxing summer knitting - and best of all; the yarn does all of the colorwork for you: it's Rickle in Noro Akari!

This generously sized, asymmetrical triangle-shaped shawl takes full advantage of Akari's long, colorful repeats, making it the easiest way to enjoy Noro's signature color shifts in a satisfyingly stripey and super summery accessory!

Akari is Noro's soft summer blend of silk, cotton, wool, mohair, and viscose that's spun into huge 524y/200g skeins of single-ply, worsted-weight yarn.

Akari knits up into a soft, light fabric with a beautiful drape. And it's also dyed with Noro's signature gradual striping pattern in a soothing palette of colors. It's the Noro color you love but with a summery twist!

Rickle, by designer Laura Aylor, is a cozy three-season accessory, perfect for cool spring and fall days and chilly summer nights. It's generously sized for snuggling but won't overheat you, thanks to Akari's fiber content.

Knit from end to end in squishy garter stitch; Rickle's asymmetrical triangle shape is created with increases and decreases along the edges and the spine. This is an excellent skill-building project for adding different types of increases to your repertoire!

To knit this shawl, you'll need:

2 skeins of Noro Akari (shown here in the Ichihara colorway)
US 8 32" circular needles
Rickle pattern
