The stole combines stripes of 2-color brioche with stripes of 2-color garter stitch. This sets up some interesting color effects. By playing with the color sequence in the garter stitch, the brioche stripes end up being knitted in contrasting colors to the garter stitch bands. The double knitting stripes along the brioche bands add a third dimension to the color effects.

The ends of the stole are decorated them with chevron-like edging.
