I close my eyes and see the stone islands of the St Kilda archipelago, covered with flowering gorse and heather. I hear the cries of birds and the sound of the surf. My St Kilda stole was created from this dream.

I offer you a pattern of a lace stole with a pointed lace border worked in one piece.
This pattern allows you to change both the length and width of the stole to your liking.
The central part and pointed borders along the right and left edges are worked at the same time.
At the end of each part, the borders are also worked along the shorter sides of the stole; and open stitches in the corners are grafted, forming invisible seams.

Yarn: Lace weight wool (800-1500 m/100 g) approximately 1500-2000 m. Exact yardage depends on the desired size of the stole. Fine linen yarn will work well, too.

Difficulty level: intermediate.

Skills required: You have to be able to read knitting charts, work garter stitch and lace pattern in RS and WS rows/rounds, cast on sts with waste yarn. grafting.

Exact gauge is not critical for this project and may vary depending on the yarn and needles of your choice.
Photos in this pattern show my stole made with Knoll Yarns Nobel (1000 m/100 gr), total 130 gr.

Finished size after blocking and yardage of the stole is as follows: 215 х 68 cm

Needles and notions: Single-ended or circular needles 2.5-3.0 mm; stitch markers; tapestry needle; waste yarn; blocking pins.
