Ruby Stole

The Ruby Stole is an exquisite knitting pattern that beautifully combines simple short rows, twisted stitches, and basic lace techniques. Designed for knitters looking to enhance their skills, this one-skein pattern allows you to master these techniques while crafting a stunning accessory. The elegant pear-shaped motif, inspired by the many forms of rubies, adds a unique touch to the design, offering both texture and dimensionality to an otherwise straightforward garment silhouette.

To further elevate the design, the cast-on edge features charming scallops, adding a delicate detail that enhances the overall aesthetic. Additionally, an innovative short-row section completes the bind-off edge with a trio of pointed accents, resulting in a refined and polished finish.
