Mrs. Howell & the Moon Garden
Beneath the luminous midsummer moon, fragrant blooms radiate soft colors. She beckons me closer, drawing our hearts into the enchanted dell, where dreams twine with the gentle zephyr, whispering tales of fairy lights and joyous song.
Welcome to a wonderful introduction to mosaic knitting with this exquisite stole pattern. Inspired by a nostalgic childhood memory and the luxurious Kashmir shawls of the Regency Era, this piece is perfect for knitters of all skill levels. Designed as a relaxing knit, the colors are beautifully mirrored within easy lace and step-by-step mosaic panels, making it an enjoyable project for both beginners and experienced crafters alike.
Finished Measurements: Width: 22” / 56 cm; Length: 76” / 193 cm. This generous size makes the stole an ideal accessory for adding warmth and elegance to any outfit, whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or simply wrapping yourself in cozy comfort.
Yarn: For this enchanting stole, we recommend using Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal (95% merino, 5% cashmere; 415 yds / 380 m per 100 g skein). You will need the following colors: * Colour 1: Teal (015); 1 ball * Colour 2: Flint (26); 1 ball * Colour 3: Soft Grey (03); 1 ball. The luxurious blend of merino and cashmere not only assures remarkable softness but also ensures delightful drape and warmth, perfect for layering.
Needles: You will require US 6 / 4 mm 24“ / 60 cm circular needles (to be worked flat) for this project. This size is ideal for achieving a balance between stitch definition and flexibility, allowing you to showcase your stitches beautifully.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 20 stitches and 32 rows = 4” / 10 cm in stockinette stitch for a perfect fit and drape. Keeping gauge in mind is essential for creating a stole that fits just right.
Notions: Gather your supplies! You may find stitch markers helpful (optional) along with a yarn needle suitable for weaving in your ends neatly. These small tools will streamline your knitting experience, ensuring your focus remains solely on your creative process.
