Osiris

Discover the enchanting story of Osiris, a notable figure from ancient mythology, through this unique stole knitting pattern. Inspired by the legend of Osiris, who was tragically killed by his brother and dismembered into 14 pieces—one for each full moon of the year—this project celebrates the themes of love and regeneration. Isis, his devoted wife, searched tirelessly to reunite all the pieces of her beloved. However, one piece, the phallus, had been consumed by a fish. Undeterred, Isis reassembled Osiris with skill and creativity, fashioning a new golden phallus, which symbolizes rebirth and love. They then shared a passionate night together, a moment before Osiris returned to the realm of the dead.

This beautiful Osiris stole design features 13 full moons and a whimsical fish motif, making it not just a fun knit but also a captivating conversation piece. Perfect for knitters who appreciate a blend of mythology and artistry, this stole is sure to catch the eye and spark interest.
