Love this piece!
It’s cozy yet chic and stylish. It will be elegant enough for theatre and it will also look great with jeans and a blouse.

Details:
Fingering yarn instead of laceweight.

I started with a provisional (crochet) cast-on and then worked one WRONG SIDE ROW (meaning I purled one row) and then started with the FIRST pattern line.
When I picked up sts. from the cast-on-edge to work the other side of the stole I started with row 3 of the star pattern.
The stitches lined up well, I didn’t have issues with that.
As I started the whole stole with a wrong side row there’s no break in the pattern and no knit rows that might disturb the eye.

Of course, if you look closely, you’ll notice where you “changed direction”, but it’s not as noticeable as I feared it would be.

I knitted 6 pattern repeats instead of the stated 7 (plus selvedge sts. and faggotting).

The center pattern was knitted with larger needles, as the pattern stated out that this part wouldn’t open up as much as the edging part while blocking. In my case it did, so I would knit up the next stole completely with the larger size (but I knit very tight, so this might have happened due to my knitting style).

As I had enough yarn I added 10 additional repeats of the center pattern to add some lenght.
Now I think I could have added 2 additional Flower repeats on each side as well, as I still have some leftovers from the yarn. It’s long enough anyways.

Measurements: ca. 210 cm long and ca. 60 cm wide.

Highly recommendable pattern - I wish more designers would add rectangular versions of their shawls!

A huge THANKS to my friend, who made this possible! ♥
