It took me awhile to grab pictures and get this posted, but I am happy to report that I was able to finish Girasole within 24 hours of Christmas…it was 24 hours AFTER Christmas but that’s OK, it is being loved all the same.
I ended up using 6 skeins of Madelinetosh Pashmina Worsted to make this but I did make a few modifications:
- Charts A-D were followed as instructed
- Chart E was repeated 2 times instead of 3 times
- Chart F was repeated as instructed
- Chart G was repeated just once instead of twice.
One of my favorite things about this pattern/yarn combo is that the yarn is incredibly soft and lightweight so it sort of molds to your body – but don’t let that fool you because it’s still incredibly warm and cozy.
This is top 5 favorite knit and I would definitely spend time making this again!
Turned out awesome!!
Gorgeous indeed!
Lovely!
Stunning. I knit a Girasole for a friend as a wedding gift a few years ago and have been wanting to knit another for myself… seeing yours is putting me over the edge, it’s so beautiful in those hand dyed tones!
Stunning. I would love to make this someday. ‘A little more knitting experience needed first, though. So, so pretty in that color way!
An heirloom piece….beautiful! You’ve got so much talent and patience.
This is beautiful!
Goregous it is!! On my “knit wish list” for some future day

I was thinking of using this same yarn for a wrap for my mother-in-law to use to keep warm during her chemotherapy. This color is right in her palate- is this the “well water” option?
Yes! This is well water.. A new favorite, its a beautiful dye.
