Geometric lace is combined with a Knitcircus gradient yarn for this beautiful stole knit on the bias. By increasing and along one edge and decreasing on the other, the lace takes on a life all of its own. It almost looks like a line of birds, returning home after a long winter.

Pattern Notes

  • If you would like a longer stole, work the Straight Section to desired length. Remember, adding length to the piece will affect the amount of yarn needed!
  • Two files are included with this pattern. One is the pattern with written instructions included with the charts. The second is the pattern with charts only. This way, you can just print what you need!
