mariposa stole
You’ll need:
2 skeins of Misti Alpaca Tonos Pima Silk, or about 630 yards of dk yarn (solid color recommended)
Size G crochet hook
Stitch markers
20 grams of 6/0 seed beads
Beading needle
Tapestry needle
Gauge
3dc + 1 butterfly = 3.5” long x 2.5” high
NB: The finished garment will stretch when worn. See finished measurements to make adjustments to size.
Finished Measurements
Stole is 20 butterflies long and 7 butterflies tall. With some stretch, this measures 18” wide x 82” long finished.
Pattern Notes
The butterflies are created by a 6 row repeat. The first 5 rows repeat a 3 dc, chain 15 pattern. In the 6th row, you will chain half the row, then use a sc to bind the chains of the 5 previous rows together, then complete the chain. You’ll crochet the beads in place on this single crochet.
The optional armholes happen after the third row of butterflies. Make note before you plunge forward!
A note on joining yarn balls. Be sure to join at a double crochet section, not along the chains. Also remember to restring enough beads on the new ball to finish the project.
To change the size, add or subtract a multiple of 18 from starting chain.
Prepare the Beads before Beginning
String about 160 beads or 11 grams of beads onto the 1st ball of yarn
