Free Spirit Stole pattern PDF

Perfect for tossing on over a summer dress or even a bathing suit, this lacy stole will see you through summer in style, while the scarf size is ideal for a splash of color on a warm day. The naturally biasing Hybrid Crochet (aka Tunisian Crochet) stitch pattern creates a texture reminiscent of macramé, and a knotted fringe provides the perfect vintage-inspired finish. In this interesting hybrid technique, each row has a forward pass where you pick up loops on a long hook, then a return pass where you work across those stitches and end with just one loop on your hook.

This is a beginner project and appropriate for a first-time hybrid crocheter.
