Opulence Stole
Introducing the elegant and feminine Opulence Stole knitting pattern, designed to make you feel like royalty every time you wear it. This exquisite stole is perfect for adding a touch of luxury to your wardrobe, making it a must-have accessory for any knitting enthusiast.
The Opulence Stole is skillfully crafted in two pieces, which are worked from the ends and then invisibly seamed at the center for a seamless finish that enhances its sophisticated design.
Finished Measurements: The Opulence Stole features generous dimensions, measuring 78 inches (198 cm) in length and 22 inches (56 cm) in width, with measurements taken after blocking for the perfect fit.
Gauge: Achieve the ideal look with a gauge of 20 stitches x 24 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) using size US 6 (4 mm) needles in Stockinette stitch, after blocking ensures the stole's structure and drape are just right. It's also important to note that the Border Chart repeat consists of 19 stitches, measuring approximately 3.5 inches (9 cm).
Tools You’ll Need: Gather your materials with size US 6 (4 mm) circular needles, 32 inches (80 cm) long, or opt for a different size to obtain the desired gauge. While gauge isn’t critical for this project, variations in gauge can affect the stole's overall size and yardage. Don’t forget to have 6 markers, a tapestry needle, and some waste yarn on hand to make your knitting journey smoother.
Essential Materials: To create your stunning Opulence Stole, you'll need approximately 1290 yards (1180 m) of sport weight yarn. For the sample, we recommend using 4 skeins of Baah Yarn Aspen, a luxurious blend of 75% Merino, 15% Silk, and 10% Cashmere, each skein offering 330 yards (302 m) in a 100-gram weight. The color featured is 'Petal', which adds a delicate, romantic touch to your finished piece.
Embrace your inner royalty and indulge in the pleasure of creating this beautiful, luxurious stole. Whether for yourself or as a gift, the Opulence Stole knitting pattern is destined to become a cherished addition to any knitter's collection.
