Islands and ripples of stockinette in a sea of delicate lace mark this beautiful stole. The sense of balance and organic movement in Irina’s distinctive aesthetic makes this piece feel like an instant heirloom. A provisional cast-on allows you to work in two directions, knitting the center panel and one end before picking up stitches from the cast-on to mirror the motifs on the other end. Saiph’s generous dimensions make a commanding statement when the ends are flowing loose, but the airy fabric of Plains allows for easy wrapping and gathering without bulk when you want to warm your shoulders and frame your face.
