Just released… the Heavenly Stole knitting pattern. This beautiful and delicate rectangular lace stole is a close cousin to the very popular Heavenly Cowl pattern. The same heavenly stitch is used at each end of the stole, but as the pattern moves toward the middle, it changes to small and then large diamonds creating a beautiful centre diamond panel.
This stole is worked flat from two ends and grafted together, closer to one end, with Kitchener Stitch. All wrong side rows are purled. The first four and last four stitches of each right side row create the edge.
- Here is a video from Knittinghelp.com showing how to graft stitches with Kitchener Stitch: http://www.knittinghelp.com/video/play/kitchener-stitch.
