This stole is an easy lace pattern, and is knit the length of the stole. Gauge is not extremely important, but the size of the stole will vary according to your gauge and you may require more material if your gauge is larger. You can use any type of yarn, but I really like the gradient color of Concentric by Hikoo; you will only need one ball! This stole is wider than a scarf, but you could resize and make wider by omitting a couple pattern repeats.
