This rectangular double-knit stole is inspired by the traditional Japanese Tatewaku (Rising Steam) pattern, in which the steam gently rises illustrating subtle curves. In Scandinavia, experiencing saunas and hot springs is revered and of extreme importance, fitting perfectly with the use of the rising steam motif.
This stole uses a captivating interplay of 10 colours, using Herlig DK and Lascaux DK yarn in pairs, spanning the full spectrum of colours. It showcases the remarkable versatility and beauty of these yarns. Additionally, the pattern uses 80% of the total yarn quantity, allowing you to create a matching skinny scarf using any remaining yarn. You can achieve this by reducing the number of chart repeats from 8 down to 2.
