1. This wrap is worked with two strands of yarn held together throughout (one strand of merino DK and one strand of mohair). Adding the mohair is optional but lends the piece an added level of softness and sophistication.
2. The pattern is worked in three sections. Section one is the basic stole portion of the wrap. It is worked horizontally in a simple stockinette stitch. Section one needs to be completed before you begin section two.
3. Section two is a lace sampler border comprised of eight different lace patterns work in squares across the live stitches at the bottom of section one. Each week during the new episode of Downton Abbey, a new lace square section will be released for you to work on and to add to your wrap during the course of the series. There is some minimal seaming of these squares upon completion of this section.
4. Section three is a finishing lace edging which may be added after completing section two. Directions:
