  • Stole is knit holding a strand of mohair and Charm throughout. 1 skein of Sunshine is used for a crocheted edging.

  • Stole measures 84” long and 22” wide at center neckline.

On the Charming Mohair Short Rows Stole, the short rows are at the center back. The bottom area needs to be larger than the neck area. When you work short rows on the knit side, you create more rows of knitting at the bottom edge than at the neck edge. This makes the shawl wrap around the body nicely and eliminates extra fabric at the neck.
