Spearhead Stole
Lightweight, drapey, and both earthy and classy all in one, are all qualities I was trying to achieve when creating this stylish stole.
The original was designed without Mohair. However, after multiple swatches, I couldn’t resist the addition of Mohair (Mohair
with sparkle to be exact!) and the options it offered, especially for those that prefer knitting with larger needles. Each half is knit
separately and joined in the middle with a Kitchener stitch. Throw it around your neck any time of year for style, warmth or both.
