Sample shown in Manos del Uruguay Fino (490 yds / 450 m per 100 g 70% merino, 30% silk) in Ivory Letter-Opener (MC, SF414) and Georgiana (CC1-5, FM07-405, 407, 419, 426, and 438) Each contrasting color stripe of 12 rows requires approximately 22 yds / 20 m of yarn.ġ2.5” / 32 cm wide and 59” / 150 cm in lengthĢ65 yds / 242 m of a main color and 540 yds / 494 m in total of contrasting color(s) in a fingering weight yarn This project could be a great way to stashbust your fingering weight leftovers. Knitters might also pair a main color with a single contrasting yarn, an integrated gradient, or as many contrasting colors as one would like. The sample uses a neutral main color with a set of five mini skeins. Changing the size of the stole will affect the amount of yarn needed. Consider expanding the stole into a baby blanket by casting on double the stitches. Change the length of the stole by adding or subtracting repeats of the lace pattern, or alter the width by casting on more or fewer stitches in groups of 12. The size of the Palais Garnier stole can be easily adjusted to accommodate different preferences. Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but using a different weight of yarn or needle size will affect the size of the finished stole. The stole is worked flat from end to end with an easy-to-memorize stitch pattern. The Palais Garnier stole evokes the fancy frills and gilded molding of the Paris opera house with its alternating stripes of lacy openwork framed by rippling lines of garter stitch.
