CHRISTMAS SALE ITEM DEC 1 - 31, 2009 - EXCLUSIVELY ON OUR WEBSITE & AT KNITTY NODDY
Explore our INTERMEDIATE LEVEL KNITTING PATTERN featuring an intricate CHARTED BEADED LACE DESIGN!

This stunning stole pattern calls for:
4500 size 8 Miyuki seed or delica beads
(in a beautiful matte opalescent cobalt AB finish).

The stole is expertly knit in two separate pieces and then gracefully grafted together at the back for a seamless look. The design showcases three **delphinium panels** adorned with overlapping "blooms," which are elegantly separated by **beaded columns of fagoting**. An enchanting three-stitch arrow motif adds to the overall charm of this unique knitted piece.

This delightful arrow motif is ingeniously transformed into an allover beaded pattern at the ends of the stole, creating a dynamic wave effect that culminates in a lovely **scalloped hem**. The pattern is further enhanced by repeating this design at the center back of the stole, cleverly camouflaging the join for a polished finish.

IMPORTANT ERRATA, page 2:

Please note that the cast on should be **105 stitches**, not 104 (using 104 beads). Work **Chart A** as instructed, repeating the center FOUR stitches 24 times for a precise and beautiful finish. Additionally, on the very first row of your first repeat of **Chart A**, decrease one stitch in the center by knitting 2 stitches together to maintain the correct stitch count (resulting in **104 stitches**).

Get ready to impress your friends and family with this exquisite beaded lace stole, perfect for holiday gifts or to keep for yourself! Start your crafting journey today and create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that showcases your knitting skills!
