Tutor's Suggestions
-
Yarn Weight: Use a compatible yarn, but avoid very thick yarns.
-
Stitch Count: The pattern uses a multiple of 8 stitches. For the stated dimensions, the tutor worked 88 foundation chains.
-
Finishing Touches: If you continue crocheting the full 175 cm length, you will have a small amount of leftover yarn. You can use this extra yarn to add fringes, tassels, or small pompoms, or you can continue for a few more rows to make the stole longer.
-
Side Border: The side edges naturally look messy due to the turn chains. Finish the lateral edges with a row of Single Crochet (SC) to add weight, structure, and a clean finish. Be careful not to work too many SC stitches, as this will cause the edge to ripple.
The Crochet Snow Stole Pattern features airy yet structured stitches, combining chain stitches, double crochet, and shell or lace motifs to create a flowing, lightweight fabric. The pattern begins with the start, forming the foundation chain to determine the stole’s length.
Special Features: The stole features a simple two-row repeat pattern that combines Double Crochet (DC) shell/fan stitches with chains and Single Crochet (SC). This creates a highly vaporous and soft texture (vaporeux), ideal for a lightweight wrap. The repeating stitch pattern makes it easy to work up quickly.
In the mid stage, decorative stitches are repeated across rows to build texture, volume, and a visually captivating snowflake-like effect.
The end stage focuses on finishing touches, such as creating neat edges, adding subtle borders, or weaving in ends, giving the stole a polished, boutique-quality look.
Conclusion
You have completed the beautiful "Snow Stole," successfully mastering the two-row shell pattern to create a lightweight, versatile garment. This accessory is now ready to wear or gift.
Final Tip
When working the final border of Single Crochet (SC) along the long lateral edges, avoid working an SC into every available hole or stitch. Instead, strategically place the SC stitches to ensure the edge is flat, firm, and does not pucker or wave.
