Tropical Christmas Stole
We are thrilled to announce our exciting collaboration with the wonderful ladies from 7th Floor Yarn in New York! Together, we've crafted a stunning design for their highly anticipated Christmas in July Advent Calendar. Introducing the Tropical Christmas Stole shawl—a beautifully designed piece that’s perfect for adding a festive flair to your summer knitting!
This shawl features a unique bias construction, allowing the lovely DK sparkle yarn from 7th Floor Yarn to truly shine. You will need approximately 680 yards of DK weight yarn, with a recommended needle size of 5.5mm (US 8). Rest assured, the stitch count for this project never exceeds 70 stitches, making it a comfortable project even if you’re using circular needles with shorter cords.
In the example shawl shown, we utilized one full skein (231 yards) as the main color, complemented by eight delightful mini skeins, each measuring 49 yards. This combination creates a vibrant design that stands out and is sure to capture attention. The Tropical Christmas Stole is an ideal project for adventurous beginners, as it incorporates simple lace techniques, garter stitch, and eyelets—ensuring that your knitting experience is far from boring!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the talented ladies at 7th Floor Yarn for this fantastic collaboration. If you’re ready to dive into a festive knitting journey, gather your materials and join us in creating this fabulous Tropical Christmas Stole. Happy knitting to all!
