Twinings Stole

A pretty, semi-sheer stole in two sizes [petite(tall)], with a meandering vine stitch motif. Knit in two pieces from the hem to the center back, then grafted together, it has an attached edging of dainty, openwork points. A good knitting project for a beginning or intermediate lace knitter, and a quick knit for a more experienced knitter.
