Simply Elegant Stole

Traditional Estonian lace patterns are used in a non-traditional way to create a contemporary, sophisticated wrap. Wear this stole over jeans or casual skirts, or add extra flair to a tailored suit—it will be simply elegant either way!

The stole is worked by knitting from one end to the other, repeating the charts for the desired length. This is a stocking stitch stole with garter stitch edges and lace worked on one side only. Sample shown in Pussywillow. NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Advanced Beginner lace knitters.
