Secret of the Stole II is a brand new pattern design by DK the Nautical Knitter. It will be a beginner to intermediate lace stole (non-beaded).
As in keeping with the tradition of the Secret of the Stole KAL’s, there will be several door prizes given away (maybe some before it even begins, you never know), a weekly “hint” (the pattern), and a hint question. All of which will tie into a theme for the stole which will end with a grand prize for the theme winner and you will be left with a great stole to wear just about in time for Easter.
Supply requirements will be announced at a later date and in plenty of time for you to find the perfect yarn to complete Secret of the Stole II.

This is a Knit-Along for the Civil War Shawl, as seen in in the Cast On Magazine, Winter/Spring Issue of 2001.
Finished size: 72″ Diameter
Materials used by the author: DOMY HEATHER, (100% wool) 100 gm, 475 yd skeins. She used 9 skeins (4275 yds) in Midnight.
Needle Size: US Size 6, set of dps and circulars in various lengths. The circulars will be important as the project grows in size - just to keep all the stitches together without falling off the needles. This is a very large project and it will take time. The last row contains 1200 stitches; so by that time it will be a single row for that day’s (week?) KAL. There are a total of 161 rows plus 17 rows of edging. =)
