Here’s a secret that hasn’t been well kept: be it a knitter or just a general fashionista, women love versatility in their wardrobe. Whether a cowl that can be worn as a scarf or a shawl that doubles as a light blanket, if you can wear it in a variety of ways - most women will.

This stole pattern uses a bulky weight yarn to create a reversible garment that features lace on one side and cables on the other. How fabulous! Wear it as a tunic, as a stole, as a wrap, as a scarf or as a light blanket on warm weather. Perfect for those “in-between” weather days where you need something a little extra in the AM’s to get you to work or in the evenings to fend off shivers, this stole is a quick-knit garment every closet needs!
