Annette Shawl

This stunning cable-knit stole features a unique design that beautifully showcases the artistry of Canadian designer Annie Maloney. Combining an intricate cable stitch with a delicate mini lace pattern, this stole offers a sophisticated yet lightweight accessory perfect for any wardrobe. Measuring 16 1/2 inches wide and 74 inches long, the finished stole requires between 800 and 1000 yards of your favorite yarn for completion.

In addition to the stole, this versatile knitting pattern includes detailed instructions for creating a shawl (23 1/2 inches wide), a wide scarf (9 1/4 inches wide), and a narrow scarf (7 1/4 inches wide). This makes it an excellent choice for knitters looking to create multiple projects from a single pattern, whether for personal use or as thoughtful handmade gifts.

For those who wish to add an extra touch of elegance, the pattern also includes instructions for an optional crocheted edging. It's important to note that this optional edging is the ONLY crochet aspect included in the pattern, allowing you to focus primarily on your cable and lace skills. All stitches in this pattern are charted only, making it essential for knitters to have a solid understanding of reading charts.

Skill Level: Intermediate. A good working knowledge of cable-lace knitting techniques is assumed for this project. As a special note, the sample shawl was crafted using the Malabrigo Arroyo yarn, but rest assured that any sport weight yarn will work beautifully for this pattern.

Please remember, no crochet hooks are necessary if you choose to forgo the optional edging. Dive into this unique cable-lace stole pattern and let your creativity shine, whether you're adding to your own collection or gifting your handmade creations to those you love!
