Arabesque
Arabesque
The word arabesque is a musical term which means decorative musical material or composition based on florid embellishment. We think this lacy stole exemplifies the word in knitterly terms, being decoratively embellished with lovely lace throughout!
This is a garter stitch stole with every row knit. The stole is started at one end with a lace edging. Stitches are then picked up along the straight edge and the body of the stole is worked from this end to the other. After the body is completed, the lace edging is knit sideways onto the live stitches.

2 balls Zephyr Laceweight, each ball approx. 2 oz. / 630 yds.
Finished size:
Approximately 20 inches wide and 79 inches long after blocking, but can be made longer or shorter if desired.
Needles:
3.5 mm (US 4) needles or size needed to obtain gauge
Quantity available: 2

Charming

Front and back are knit separately from the bottom up. Sleeves are worked, then all seams are sewn before the simple, garter stitch neckline is completed. Three small buttons add a pretty detail to the front. Charts make it easier to work garment shaping in lace. Recommended for Advanced Intermediate knitters.

Enchanting
This lovely top dresses up simple camisoles and T-shirts in the most enchanting way. A feminine ruffled edge creates ease at the hips, and the delicate lace design allows your camisole to peek through. Knit in the round to the armholes, there is very little sewing up. Large charts for the entire garment take the guesswork out of shaping in lace, so that youll find the knitting just as enchanting as the wearing!
