A flexible design that is compatible with any yarn brand you choose.
A classic textured stole worked in an alternating knit–purl lattice with decorative increases and slipped-stitch details. The fabric has a warm, woollen handle with a structured yet flexible drape. Aran-weight wool gives the piece body and warmth without heaviness, making it suitable for layering over dresses, blouses, or knitwear. The attached collar provides a tailored finish and sits neatly when worn folded or draped.

Marle & Row Yarn Suggestion List Disclaimer
Yarn suggestions are options chosen to match the pattern’s yarn weight and the stitch definition needed for the texture. They are not endorsements. Always knit and measure a tension swatch and adjust needle size to match the stated tension. If your chosen yarn has different meterage per ball, you may need more or fewer balls than listed. Substitutions are at the knitter’s discretion.
