#220 Marquise

Just like marquise cut diamonds, the lace pattern showcased in this exquisite stole features elegant elliptical shapes that are multi-dimensional and stunning from various angles. This intricate design not only captivates the eye but also adds a touch of sophistication to your knitting projects.

This knitting pattern incorporates beautiful knit-in Moss stitch borders, making it an easy-to-follow lace pattern that extends the full length of the stole and scarf. The result is a fairly quick knit that yields fabulous outcomes, perfect for knitters of all skill levels. For an even richer texture and added dimension, we recommend crafting this piece in a very soft, worsted-weight merino wool with a subtly heathered color, as demonstrated in the example.

The generous stole size is delightful for wearing over your shoulders or wrapping around your neck, transforming it into a luxuriously warming scarf. If you're looking for a quicker project, consider creating the narrower scarf version. This option is ideal for gift-giving or stash-busting, ensuring that you can use up those extra skeins of yarn in your collection.

This versatile pattern easily accommodates a wide range of worsted-weight yarn options, making it a perfect match for that luxurious cashmere or cozy alpaca blend you've been saving for a special project. Whether you choose to create the stole or the scarf, you're sure to enjoy the process and the finished piece.

Don’t forget that proper blocking will significantly enhance the beauty and intricate details of this stunning stitch pattern. The pattern is showcased in Knitpicks Swish Worsted, but there are suggested substitutes available to cater to your personal preferences.
