Inspired by angels wings and peacock feathers, this lace edged stole presents a simple shape edged in intricate lace. Deceptively simple, the deep lace bands are created using elementary lace stitches. Purl columns augment an otherwise even field of stockinette. Restful and quiet, the Gardenia Stole combines a modern rectangular form with airy and elegant drape and gives a nod to the graceful decor of bygone days.
The stole is worked flat in two pieces, starting with the lace edges, and then grafted in the center using Kitchener stitch. I-cord edges are worked concurrent with the stole. Yarn is held double throughout.
