This stole symbolizes the structure of a happy marriage. The knitted columns ebb and flow into each other just as one half of a married couple shoulders the majority of the responsibilities and provides unconditional love during times of hardship. Later, such support is reciprocated by the other half of the married couple.
Knit the stole as a gift for a bride, as an anniversary present or as homage to your own happy marriage. Though the stole is not reversible, each side is unique and worthy of being shown off.
May the stole bring you or your loved one many years of marriage bliss.

Purchase Notes:
As with all my patterns, you will receive a pdf document providing step-by-step instructions on how to make the stole. Written instructions as well as knitting charts are included.
Once payment is complete, you will be able to download the pattern. All payments are processed by Paypal. If you don’t have a Paypal account, you may still pay with this method by using your credit card. No account set up is necessary. If you use a Paypal account that does not have any funds in it nor is associated with a credit card, Paypal will process your payment with an e-check. Typically, a delay of three days is noticed when using an e-check. Once the check clears, you may download the pattern. Please note that you can avoid the delay by using a credit card.
