Zenon Stole

Zenon Stole

A stole for the 21st Century, Zenon is a cleverly constructed scarf that uses bias knitting to create triangles that build off of each other while alternating between colors and textures. These triangles bend and join to create a sharp geometric design while only requiring the knitter to use 1 color at a time.
 
Since a modern stole needs to be able to move with the times, there are never more than 36 sts on the needles so an easily transportable 16” circular needle is all that is needed for the entire scarf. The simple stitch patterns are easy to memorize and perfectly showcase the combination of highly variegated and semi-tonal yarns so enjoy knitting this while watching a movie, saving your world or attending a Proto Zoa concert with your friends.

  • A Note on Gauge


    Garter-stitch is super stretchy and grows like crazy once blocked so I recommend not blocking your swatch when you measure your gauge for this project as it will be drastically different from your un-blocked gauge. If you are curious though, my blocked gauge was 21sts X 21rows / 4” in Garter Stitch. If you like to live dangerously and not use a gauge swatch for scarves, just follow the percentages given and you’ll have plenty of yarn to finish your stole.

    One Size - 74" x 8.5"

    Yarn Suggestion
    Because of the percentage system that’s written into the pattern, you can really use any yarn but I strongly recommend using at least 2 skeins of fingering weight (at least around 850 yds) because your stole will be far too short if you use any less. If you want a Super Scarf, just use another 2 skeins of yarn or bump it up to a DK weight yarn with a US 7 or 8 needle. (I don’t have a gauge or finished sizing info for this, but it would be pretty epic and I’d love to see it done!)

  • Needles

    US 4 (3.5) mm 16” circular needles or size to obtain gauge

    Note: Straights will not work, but 8” or longer DPNs will.
