In Great Britain, and some areas of North America, a horseshoe is considered a symbol of good luck. An ornately decorated, fabric horseshoe is often given to a bride to carry down the aisle at her wedding.

This symbol inspired me to create the Horseshoe Wedding Stole. It has double the luck, because I’ve incorporated “rice” in the form of seed stitch. Rice is a symbol of good luck and prosperity.

I consider this an intermediate level pattern, but an adventurous beginner will be quite successful.
