Let relaxation take over as you knit this stole.
Although lace is intentionally putting holes in your knitting, the body is mostly just columns of eyelets and just a bit at each end.
It can be as complex as the vintage doilies that I love to knit, or as simple as a row of eyelets.
This center out, rectangular stole, starts with a provisional cast on at the center and meditative columns of eyelets surrounded by stylized leaves.The edges have just a touch of more complex lace (and a few nupps) on the ends.
Knit in a laceweight silk this is the perfect piece to dress up a pair of jeans and a t-shirt on a warm summer’s day, or with a fancy dress for a night on the town.

About the Designer: Mary E. Rose
Mary has been knitting for over 40 years. During this time she has discovered that she hasn’t met a knitting technique she didn’t like. As a fearless knitter, she will occasionally call her children over to “see something scary” such as pulling the needles out of a 400 stitch lace shawl, ripping back ten rows and picking the stitches back up, without a lifeline. (But, she does suggest using them, so don’t try that at home.) She believes that things are always easier the second time, so she gets the first time out of the way as quickly as possible, and that with a little practice, you can master any technique.
She currently lives in Central Ohio with her three children, who also craft. She can be found on Ravelry and her blog, or with knitting needles in hand, guarding her stash, whilst knitting a swatch.
