O-stole Mio
This stole is worked in a manner similar to Orenburg gossamer. It starts at the lower left corner with the bottom teeth border. Then the stitches for the bottom frame are picked up along the straight selvedge of the bottom border, and both the frame and the field are worked with the side teeth borders. Finally, the top teeth border is knitted sideways onto the live stitches of the top frame, and then its remaining stitches are grafted to the left teeth border at the upper left corner.
The pattern is charted in Orenburg style with colored yarnovers.

Most testers reported they’d rather choose smaller needles to obtain the gauge.
