Palais Garnier

Introducing the exquisite Palais Garnier Stole, a knitting pattern that captures the elegance and opulence of the famed Paris Opera House. This stunning stole features alternating stripes of lacy openwork, elegantly framed by the visually appealing rippling lines of garter stitch. Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, the stole is worked flat from end to end, showcasing an easy-to-memorize stitch pattern that making it perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters alike.

While gauge is not critical for this lovely design, keep in mind that using a different weight of yarn or a different needle size will influence the overall size and drape of the finished stole. This flexibility allows for creativity and personalization with your project.

As for yarn choices, the sample features a sophisticated neutral main color paired with a delightful set of five mini skeins. However, the versatility of this pattern means you can get creative! Consider using a single contrasting yarn, an integrated gradient, or even multiple contrasting colors to make your stole truly your own. This project also presents an excellent opportunity for stash-busting, perfect for using up your fingering weight yarn leftovers. Each contrasting color stripe of 12 rows consumes approximately 22 yards (20 meters) of yarn, ensuring you can piece together your masterpiece with remnants from previous projects.
