my new pattern *Miss Blanche Stola* on Ravelry

With this light and airy summer stola I have fulfilled a wish for myself! The pattern is a daring reminder of an early knit of my grandma, who was an enthusiastic knitting lace specialist - voilá Miss Blanche!

This is a three-color striped scarf with 2x3 ribbing and a reversible cable. The colors rotate as follows
