Lace motifs which include “wings of the swan” and “bee” inspired the Birds and Bees Stole. The wedge-shaped centre panel gives the stole a slightly Vee shape for ease in wearing, and creates two “wings” of lovely lace on either side.

The stole begins with a centre panel from which stitches are picked up to work each “wing.” Then, stitches are picked up all around and a simple garter stitch edging is worked in an optional second colour. This is a stocking stitch stole with lace on one side only, except for the delightful “bee” motif (detailed explanation of how to work is included).
