Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight, 100% merino wool in deep navy, silver, and midnight blue
• Hook: Size N (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 60 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the drape of your stole.
2. Row 1:
   • Work 1 double crochet (dc) in the 4th chain from the hook. This counts as your first dc.
   • Now, *chain 1, skip the next chain, and work 1 dc in the next chain; repeat from * across the entire row.
   • Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work to start the next row.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc for this row).
   • Work 1 dc in the first chain-1 space from the previous row.
   • Now, *chain 1, skip the next dc, and work 1 dc in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * across the row.
   • End the row with 1 dc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row, and then turn your work.
4. Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Row 2 until your stole measures approximately 70 inches in length. Make sure to check your measurements as you go to ensure consistency.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
6. Add Fringe: To add a decorative fringe to both ends of the stole, cut lengths of yarn measuring 12 inches. Attach these lengths in groups of three to every other stitch along the short edges of the stole. This will add an extra touch of elegance and movement to your finished piece.
