Product Description
This richly textured scarf or stole makes for a festive holiday accessory—and it continues to add the right touch of bling long after the tree is down and the ornaments are tucked away. Especially glowing in a yarn with a bright sheen or a rich halo, this motif could also take on an organic, earthy character when knit in a tweedy natural shade, to appear more like twisted vines or grasses. And while it has a somewhat complex appearance, the stitchwork is surprisingly quick and easy when a last-minute gift is needed.
Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size, drape, and yardage requirement.
Yarn requirement for scarf(stole): 800(1850) yards

Chanelle Knitted Shawl by Anne Hanson
What Is Being Made
Chanelle is a versatile knitted scarf or stole designed by Anne Hanson as a festive holiday accessory that transcends seasonal wear. This richly textured piece continues to serve as an elegant finishing touch to any outfit long after the holiday season ends. The design offers flexibility in finished dimensions, with two size options: 11 inches wide by 64 inches in length, or 21 inches wide by 76 inches in length (measured after stretching and blocking).
Design Character and Versatility
The Chanelle pattern showcases remarkable versatility in appearance depending on yarn selection. When knit in a yarn with bright sheen or rich halo qualities—such as the featured Bare Naked Wools Deco Lace in Bronze—the piece glows with festive sparkle and bling. Alternatively, when worked in tweedy natural shades, the same motif takes on an organic, earthy character that resembles twisted vines or grasses. This adaptability makes Chanelle suitable for multiple aesthetic preferences and occasions.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
Despite its somewhat complex appearance, the Chanelle design features surprisingly quick and easy stitchwork, making it an ideal last-minute gift option. The pattern employs lace motifs as its primary design element, creating the richly textured effect that defines the piece. The lace construction allows for elegant drape and visual interest while remaining accessible to knitters seeking beginner-level difficulty.
