Wheat Ears Stole and Shawl Pin

This pattern is pretty flexible. The sample is worked in lace weight yarn and is light and floaty. For a heavier stole you could use a 4ply yarn quite easily. The length is easily adjusted by repeating the central section as required.

This pattern would suit someone with a little lace knitting experience. It has written or charted instructions.

The shawl pin is a variation on a Dorset button, and comes from my book Dorset buttons with a Twist. The instructions are photographic and written and very detailed.

Although I have given a tension below it's not vital to the project. Using a different yarn for example will give a different tension. If in doubt I'd knit a tension square as stated below just to see if you like the look of the fabric.
