PATTERN INFO

Sizing
This stole measures approximately 14” wide by 80” long, depending upon how aggressively it is blocked. Both length and width may be easily adjusted, but this will change the yardage required. The stole may also be knit in any weight of yarn; simply adjust your needle size to suit, and work more or less repeats to achieve the desired width and length.

Yarn
490 yards DK weight yarn (sample shown in Rainbow Heirloom Lush DK in ‘Fireside’)

Limited Edition Colourway: This custom colourway is available for a limited time, until the end of August 2015! If you love it, order now.

Needles
US #7 / 4.5mm (or as required to meet gauge)

Gauge
19 sts and 23 rounds / 4” in lace pattern after blocking. The 6-stitch / 20-row lace pattern measures 1.25” wide by 3.5” tall. Gauge is not critical for this project, but a vastly different gauge will impact required yardage.

Notions
stitch markers, darning needle
