CONSTRUCTION

• Stole is worked from the center out using a provisional cast on; one half is worked first, then the stitches are picked up from the provisional cast on to work the second half.

GAUGE

• Working Gauge: 24½ stitches & 51 rows = 4″ in garter stitch with Gauge Needle, before blocking
• Finished Gauge: 18 stitches & 24 rows = 4″ in garter stitch with Gauge Needle, after lace-blocking

NEEDLES

Gauge Needle: 

• One pair of straight needles (or circulars, if preferred) in size needed to obtain gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 4½ mm (US 7)

FINISHED DIMENSIONS

• 15″ wide, 84″ long; measurements taken from relaxed fabric after blocking.

Note that this project features an open-gauge fabric.

Please note: the stitch patterns in this garment are charted only.

Page 4, second column, under “First Half” heading: 

The sentence that reads “Switch to working yarn as you work the next row.” should be substituted with the following sentence: “Switch to working yarn and knit one full row (you will be working directly into your provisional cast on stitches).“
