Minerva Stole is an elegant lacy wrap featuring a butterfly motif that is knit using two yarns held together – one with merino wool and one with mohair & silk – to make it very soft with a luscious appearance. Perfect for mild spring days or the beginning of fall when the chill just begins to come along.

Both charted and written instructions for the lace pattern (which is an adaptation of a stitches found in 50 Fabulous Knitted Lace Stitches by Rita Weiss and Vogue Knitting Stichionary 5, ed by Carla Scott) are included. The chart is on a separate page due to its size. I hope you will find this stole to be cheerful addition to your wardrobe. Happy Knitting!
