Moonstruck

I met Diana in the enchanting streets of Rome, walking soundlessly on the ancient cobblestones, dressed in elegant raw white silk and clutching a bundle that appeared to be moonlight curled within itself.

As she gracefully spun, the bundle at her side unfurled, and in one fluid motion, she draped the exquisite fabric across her shoulders and across her chest. This stunning rectangle of fabric seemed to phosphoresce under the moonlight, illuminated by three colors that stair-stepped diagonally across its width, framed by a delicate bordering hue, allowing the garment to blend seamlessly into the night. With a captivating smile directed right at me, she turned again and resumed her nocturnal stroll.

She never revealed her name—never uttered a single word—but I grasped it instinctively, as one inherently understands anything that is undeniably true.

Now, we revisit this exquisite rectangular stole—a piece that is just slightly shorter than the renowned "All the Shades of Truth" pattern. It can easily be customized to a different length, offering a versatile addition to any knitting collection. The center section is expertly crafted using intarsia techniques, while the two borders are knit on in the round, creating a beautifully finished piece that’s both functional and stylish.

Estimated Yardage Requirements:

• Color 1 (Cobalt Blue in sample): 275 yards
• Color 2 (Light Grey in sample): 420 yards (includes the thin inner border)
• Color 3 (Darker Grey in sample): 275 yards
• Color 4 (Dark Blue in sample): 420 yards (for the outer border only)
