Étaín Stole

This stunning stole or shawl is inspired by the elegant wings of a swan, making it a stunning addition to any wardrobe. The intricate lace pattern is expertly knit side to side on 5mm needles, utilizing the luxurious Fairy Lawn Alpaca yarn. However, feel free to explore your creative side—any fingering weight yarn will work beautifully, and you can also use sport or sock weight yarn for added versatility. To add texture and dimension, stitches are picked up along the top edge, and the body of the shawl is knitted in cozy garter stitch, elegantly shaped with short rows. With the option to modify the number of lace repeats, adjust the count of short rows, and vary the number of stitches used in each short row, this pattern allows for customization to create shawls in different lengths and depths. While two sizes are outlined in this versatile pattern, it also includes valuable tips for easy adaptation, enabling knitters of all skill levels to craft their perfect shawl. Whether you’re looking for a delicate accessory for a special occasion or a warm wrap for everyday wear, this stole or shawl is sure to become a cherished piece in your collection.
