For this stole I’ve taken a traditional lace pattern with strong diagonal lines and enhanced and updated the pattern by adding beads. The inspiration for this design was taken from women’s fashion in the early 1900s. The stole is worked length-wise and comes in two sizes with notes on how to modify the size on page 2.

Pattern can also be purchased from my Payhip Shop.

This pattern was originally published in Interweave Knitting Traditions Fall 2013.

The beads are added quickly and easily using a crochet hook - Tutorial.

Choose beads that blend in with your yarn for a subtle sparkle or select contrasting beads for higher visibility.
