This light, airy rectangular stole looks like it has been tie dyed. Colors ripple through the fabric like the edge of a grassy meadow or sunset over the ocean. You’ll love the drape of the finished fabric. Work in two highly contrasting solid colors for a bold look, or two closer shades for a more subtle effect.

This stole is knit loosely and then blocked to achieve its open look. It is worked in garter stitch short rows, with both colors carried along the sides, so there are no ends to weave in at the color changes.

For a more blocky, pooled version, see its companion, The Shibori Interlude Stole.

The finished stole measures 70” long and 17” wide.

Requires 400-450 yards (365-415m) each of two different colors of lace weight yarn.

Requires a circular knitting needle at least 47” long.

Suggested experience level: advanced beginner - short row techniques are explained in the pattern. It would be a good pattern to learn how to work with laceweight yarn.
