Parasol Stole

Introducing the Parasol pattern—a remarkably versatile knitting design that can be crafted in both DK and lace-weight yarn! The DK version is ideal for those cool spring days when a little extra warmth is needed, while the lace-weight option, made from luxurious cotton or silk, provides a delicate touch for shading your shoulders on sunny afternoons—much like an actual parasol!

This beautiful pattern is designed for knitters of all skill levels, as both versions are knitted in exactly the same way. What’s more, the pattern comes with detailed instructions for adjusting the width. If you’d like to create a narrow scarf variation, you absolutely can! Another stylish feature of this pattern is the ability to wear it with the border elegantly folded down, reminiscent of a sophisticated shawl-collar.

The Parasol pattern includes both written and charted instructions, ensuring an enjoyable and straightforward knitting experience. The chart is beautifully laid out in a variety of sweet colors, which not only enhances the visual appeal but also makes it easier to follow along as you knit.
