With a delicate balance of two contrasting hues, the lace and texture of this rectangular stole captivate with every wearing. Worked on the bias, it utilizes every inch of yarn, ensuring satisfaction from cast-on to bind-off.

PATTERN NOTES
This stole is worked in one piece on the bias, meaning that it begins in one corner, gradually increasing to the desired width, then is worked evenly until shawl reaches the desired length on the longest side, before decreasing into the opposite corner.
The stitch patterns are both written (see Stitches Used) and charted (pages 3-4) for your preference.
