Bonnie's Summer Lacy Stole
What is Being Made
Bonnie's Summer Lacy Stole is a lightweight crocheted shawl designed as a versatile layering piece for summer months. The finished stole measures approximately 14 inches wide by 69 inches long (excluding fringe), making it an elegant wrap suitable for indoor air conditioning or outdoor chills. This design combines beauty with practicality, offering a delicate accessory that works year-round.
Construction and Techniques
This intermediate-level crochet project features the Crow's Feet Lace stitch pattern as its primary construction technique. The stole is trimmed with knotted fringe, adding texture and movement to the finished edges. The lace pattern creates an open, airy fabric ideal for warm-weather wear while maintaining enough structure to function as an effective layer.
Stitches and Stitch Details
The pattern employs the Crow's Feet Lace stitch throughout the body of the stole. According to the gauge specifications provided, the pattern achieves 3 clusters over 4 inches horizontally and 9 pattern stitch rows over 4 inches vertically. The knotted fringe trim adds a decorative finishing technique that enhances the stole's visual appeal.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The pattern calls for approximately 1,000 yards of fingering weight yarn. The designer recommends Cestari Sheep & Wool Company's Monticello Collection, which is a 2-ply fingering weight yarn composed of 75% cotton and 25% flax (3.5 oz/100 g, 370 yards per hank). Three hanks of this yarn are required to complete the project. A size G crochet hook (6/4.00 mm) or the size needed to achieve proper gauge is used for construction. Additional notions include a yarn needle, scissors, and tape measure for finishing and measurement.
Skill Level
This project is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for crocheters with some experience beyond basic stitches. The Crow's Feet Lace pattern and fringe finishing techniques require intermediate-level skills and attention to pattern detail.
