Ripples Stole

If you love experimenting with unique stitch patterns, you’ll enjoy this modified ripple stole pattern! In this design, I've taken a classic ripple stitch and expanded it into a larger repeat, featuring unevenly sized ripples that create a dynamic visual interest. The ripples gracefully grow and shrink, giving the ends of the stole a beautiful tapering effect that looks stunning and sophisticated.

Despite being a cozy and dense stole, its length ensures that it stays comfortably in place, while the slim tapered ends prevent any unwanted bulk at your waist, making it a perfect accessory for any outfit. This versatile stole is not only fashionable but also practical, allowing you to wrap it around your shoulders or drape it elegantly.

This pattern requires nearly all five skeins, so be sure to consider grabbing an extra skein just in case! The central portion of the stole is simple to customize, allowing you to easily lengthen or shorten the design to fit your preferences. Additionally, if you wish to enhance the tapered ends, you can modify them to be even more tapered, creating a tailored look just for you.

While I’ve used worsted weight yarn for this project, the pattern is incredibly adaptable and works beautifully with fingering and sport weight yarns as well. By knitting at the same gauge, you can create a lighter, airier stole that’s perfect for layering in any season.

You’ll appreciate the comprehensive instructions; the pattern is fully written out line by line and also comes charted for your convenience. Whether you prefer to read your patterns or follow visual prompts, you have the choice to knit your new favorite ripple stole in whatever way suits your style!
