Bells and Beads Stole or Wrap

IMG_9326This elegant wrap or charming stole is worked from start to finish in one piece. They both are totally reversible; from the cabled edges to the garter stitch lace and bead body. The cabled edge can be flipped over to form a small collar and the stole is just the right length to pin nicely for easy wear. The wrap has a more generous width and length for wrapping up warmly.
