SPRING AGATE

By elann



Inspired by the subtle sheen and delicate stripes of banded agates, and by leisurely strolls on warm days, Spring Agate is a versatile stole or scarf, perfect for any occasion! Created using a combination of medium-weight yarns, simple moss stitch creates a beautifully tonal and subtly textured garment.

Scarf: 4.5" width x 67" length

140 (260, 400) grams of worsted or DK weight yarn (19-23 sts/4") in assorted colors. Stole as pictured was made with our Sample Pack of Medium Weight elann.com Collection Spring/Summer Yarns in Neutrals - we also offer these in Blues, Reds, and Greens.
