Scheherazade Stole
Unlock your creativity with this beautiful rectangular stole pattern, expertly knit from one end to the other without any seams. This unique shawl begins with a striking lattice-work diamond motif border, transitioning into an enchanting center panel featuring easy slip-stitch colorwork in two stunning colors. The design is elegantly framed by the same delicate lace diamond motif, culminating in a matching border that ties the entire piece together. Inspired by the intricate lattice work found in Moroccan architecture surrounding serene walled gardens and the ornate designs of Persian flying carpets, this stole is sure to be a statement piece in your wardrobe.
This stole requires two colors of fingering-weight yarn, with approximately 800 yards needed for the main color (in a beautiful purple) and 300 yards for the contrast color (a rich gold). The dimensions of the stole can be easily adjusted to suit your personal style, but keep in mind that any changes to the size will necessitate additional or reduced yarn quantities. This versatility makes it an excellent project for knitters looking to customize their accessories.
Before you start the main project, I highly recommend knitting a large swatch using the center chart, while also practicing the lace borders at the edges, and the center section in the slipped-stitch pattern. This practice will help ensure you are working this section with the right tension; a loosely knitted fabric is key to achieving the best results. Not only does this stole make for a great addition to your knitwear collection, but it also serves as a wonderful gift for loved ones. Embrace the beauty of intricate knitting with this stunning stole pattern!
