Diamonds of the Universe is a stole featuring an elegant graphic brioche pattern over a garter stitch background.
I gave this name to the pattern because when I knitted it I was following a docuseries about the Solar System and its Planets.
And actually, this stole is something stellar!
You can choose to leave it simple or to add tassels for more drama.
Working this piece implies some advanced brioche techniques, but the result is absolutely worth the effort!

Finished size: 180 cm length and 35 cm width. (70.75” length and 13.75” width).
