SIZE: One size fits most adult

SKILL: Easy

 

MATERIALS:

Hooks: L – optional for foundation chain; K – for pattern

Yarn: 775yds/15oz I used Caron Pound for this project. I'm not sure of the color (the band was missing).

Blunt needle for weaving in ends

 

STITCHES: chain (ch); double crochet (dc); single crochet (sc)

Shell = 5 dc all in one stitch

 

ABBREVIATIONS: sk = skip

 

GAUGE: 5 rows = 4"; 1 pattern repeat = 3 1/2". Gauge is approximate and not very important to this pattern because it's just a large rectangle and can be made to any size you like.

 

Pattern worked in multiples of 8 + 4

 

With L hook, ch 204. Switch to K hook

 

Row 1: dc in 4th ch from hook, *sk next 2 chs, 5 dc in next ch (for shell), ch 2, sk next 3 chs, dc in next 2 chs. Repeat from * across. Ch 3, turn.

 

Row 2: sk first dc, dc in next dc, *shell in first dc of next shell, ch 2, sk 4 dc, dc in next 2 dc. Repeat from * across, ending last dc in top of turning ch. Ch 3, turn.

 

Row 3 thru 20: Repeat row 2. If you want a wider stole, keep repeating row 2 until your stole is as wide as you want.

 

EDGING

At end of row 20, ch 1, pivot piece to work along short side. Sc evenly around all 4 sides of stole, placing 3 sc in corners. Join to first sc.

 

Fasten off and weave in ends.
