CONSTRUCTION

• The stole begins with a Provisional Cast On (see Special Techniques) and is worked from end to end.
• After the body has been worked, stitches for the right edging only continue to be worked as the top border, which will consume all remaining live stitches using a traditional knitted- on edging technique.
• After the top border is complete, the bottom border will be worked in the same fashion as the top border, across stitches from the Provisional Cast On.
