Diamond Stole

The Diamond Stole is the ideal accessory for summer evenings, providing a touch of warmth to your shoulders when wearing lightweight clothing. Not only perfect for warmer weather, but this versatile stole is equally at home in colder seasons, making it a cozy wrap around the neck to keep the wearer snug. Measuring over 2 meters (over 86 inches) in length, this rectangular stole can be styled in a multitude of ways—draped elegantly over the shoulders, wrapped stylishly around the body, or worn as a fashionable scarf around the neck. This exquisite stole draws inspiration from a vintage needlecraft book of the early 1950s, featuring a stunning design originally intended for a table mat that includes an intricate lace pattern. The unique lace design on the Diamond Stole showcases a captivating array of small diamonds, half diamonds, and a large central diamond in each delightful repeat. The visual impact of this stole changes dramatically depending on whether it is draped vertically or horizontally across the shoulders, offering versatility in styling. Our sample of the Diamond Stole is beautifully knitted in Susan Crawford Vintage Bluem Sport, made from 100% Bluefaced Leicester wool, renowned for its remarkable softness and lovely drape. This luxurious yarn ensures that the stole feels as good as it looks! The project requires approximately 800m (870yds) of yarn and is knitted throughout using a 3.25mm (US 3) needle, making it an engaging yet achievable knitting experience for both beginner and experienced knitters alike. Embrace your creativity and elevate your wardrobe with this stunning, timeless piece—perfect for any occasion or season!
