Arctic Meadow Stole

The stole is worked horizontally to be 22" wide, however  the pattern can also be worked lengthwise with more stitches if you’d like. This version finished a 72" long. The yarn used for this model was a handspun BFL/silk blend....so lovely...very soft and comfortable.  This particular yarn produced a beautiful stripe, but a solid colour would be equally pretty.
