Sample uses 3 skeins of colourway Summer Storm.

Alternative: approx. 990 m / 1090 yds of sport weight yarn.

Gauge: 42 sts and 44 rows = 18.5 x 14.5 cm / 7¼ x 5¾” of 1 repeat of chart (width x height). Gauge is not crucial for this project, but will affect the yarn required.

Notions: Stitch markers, tapestry needle, row counter.

Techniques used: Cables, sewn bind-off.

Notes: The stole is worked from end to end lengthwise. The side borders are worked in Seed stitch; each Chevron section is worked in a combination of Reverse Stockinette stitch and Fisherman Rib stitch; 2-stitch cables are used to form the chevrons.
For convenience, dividing the sections of the work with stitch markers is suggested: 5 sts border, m – 21 sts (first repeat of Chevron motif), m – 21 sts (second repeat of Chevron motif), m x2 – 5 sts of the border. Total 5 markers.
