Buds in the Breeze
As enjoyable to knit as it is lovely to wear. This light-as-a-breeze stole features a field of flower-like medallions centered with nupp “buds”.
Even though this stole might appear to have complex shaping, it is knitted in the same number of stitches from end to end. The shaping along the edges is achieved by 2 things:
- An illusion created by the varying width of the garter stitch rows along the side edges as they dip into the main stitch area at regular intervals.
- Accentuating the points during the blocking process (blocking guide photos included in pattern).
