    FREE Knitting Pattern - Fifties Fit and Flare Stole

    FREE Knitting Pattern - Fifties Fit and Flare Stole

    If you have just started knitting, or want a super easy knitting project, this pattern is for you!  We are giving away our very simple knitting pattern that comes from our out-of-print #241 Fifties' Fit and Flare pattern!  This stole is long and cushy, made with just a Knit 1/Purl 1 rib pattern.  It is perfect to add a layer of warmth to any outfit.  It also makes a great gift!  And, we have some yarn suggestions, listed after the pattern, to make a truly luxurious stole.  Pattern is below, but you can download and print it from here.

    SIZE:  One size – 20”/51cm x 72”/183cm

    YARN:  Approximately 630 yds/576m

    NEEDLES:  One pair size 10 straight needles, or size to give correct gauge.

    GAUGE:  4 sts = 1”/2.5 cm in K1, P1 rib st.

    PATTERN USED:  K1, P1 Ribbing

    INSTRUCTIONS:  Cast on 80 sts and work in rib for 72”/183cm.  Bind off in rib st.

    Abbreviations:
    sts = stitches
    st = stitch
    K1 = Knit 1
    P1 = Purl 1

     

    YARN SUGGESTIONS

    Echoview Mill (a local-to-us, and wonderful fiber mill) has a couple of yarns that would make beautiful stoles.  Their Ranger Merino and their Haley Yarn. Both take 4 to 5 skeins to complete the stole.

    Ranger Merino


    Haley Yarn

    The Manos de Uruguay Serpentina yarn would be gorgeous in this stole.  There are lots of colorways to choose from at Purl Soho.  You will need 4-5 skeins of this yarn to complete the stole.

    Cascade Yarn Superwash 128 would also make a pretty, affordable, and easy-care stole.  You can find many colors at Purl Soho, or your local yarn shop.  It will take 5 skeins of this yarn to complete the stole.

    The Big Good Wool from Purl Soho would also work well for this stole.  Use their natural (and neutral) colors, or dye the lighter wool to make your own special yarn.  You will need 2-3 skeins of this yarn to complete the stole.

    Yes, please bring back this pattern. While you say it was not a good seller when it was in print, that was before the Netflix series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”

    My college age granddaughter is absolutely dieing for a Mrs. Maisel dress for a wedding this June. And she has the figure for it.

    Delia and JackeRose – the pattern is 251 Fifties Fit and Flare Dress. We have considered bring this pattern back, but it was not a big seller when it was in print, so we are reluctant. Maybe as a PDF and in larger sizes than the original ran (to size 14, I think).

    Yes, yardage (meters, really) has been corrected. The original pattern mis-typed the meters and that got translated. Thanks for pointing out the mistake!

    To Liz H: The short answer is size 6 in mm. I have an inexpensive metal gauge that has small to large round holes for knitting needles and crochet hooks, with sizes indicated next to the holes. Sizes go from 2 mm to 10 mm (including some intermediate intervals), 0 to 16 in ‘American’ needle size, and B-P for crochet hooks. It also includes a 5" measure and a stitch gauge. You’ll find one (or more) like it online or in a knitting store or fabric store.

    Big Good Wool skeins are 274 yards and the pattern says 2 – 3 skeins so assume that the pattern is incorrect and should say 630 yards / 576 metres NOT 1278 m
