Rivage is a beautiful, summery stole that pays homage to cockle shells and gentle waves lapping the shore during low tide. It features sections of an undulating lace motif broken up by glorious rows of shell stitches. The self-striping effect of Sandcastle adds more magic to the wrap and makes each stitch more interesting than the last.

PATTERN NOTES
This stole is knit flat from the bottom up. We recommend placing markers between pattern repeats to help you stay on track. Change colors as indicated in pattern. We recommend breaking Color B after Rows 8 and 16 of the Shells pattern instead of carrying the yarn up the side of the work. Weave in your ends as you go to save time.
