Madame Butterfly
Fiddlesticks Knitting Patterns and Yarns

Inspired by the beauty of Japanese lace stitch patterns, Madame Butterfly pays homage to Puccini's great tragic opera, in which the Japanese heroine is sadly betrayed by her lover. Our stole has no such sad ending, though, but is a joyous celebration of the beauty of Japanese stitches!

The stole is worked in two halves, each beginning with a decorative border and progressing to the diamond studded lace panels. Once completed, the two halves are grafted together with Russian Grafting (explained in the pattern). This is a stocking stitch stole with lace worked on one side only.
