BOWS AND ARROWS STOLE
Copyright © 07/14/05 Dot Matthews
SKILL: Easy
Measurements: 72" by 19"
Size: Adult, one size fits most
Gauge: measured from widest part of shell across to the final dc in the bow st = 4"; 7 rows of shells = 5"
Hook size: K
Yarn: Bernat Baby Coordinates, sports weight; color Iced Mint, 2 6oz skeins, pattern used 785 yards. Yarn content is 75.2% acrylic, 22.2% acetate, 2.6% nylon
Supplies used: scissors, blunt needle, tape measure
Stitches used: chain, single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch; shell;
SHELL= (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) all in same stitch or space
Abbreviations: ch = chain; sc = single crochet; dc = double crochet; sl st = slip stitch; tog = together; ea = each; st(s) = stitch(es); sk = skip; sp = space
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
At end of each row, turn without making any chains. Now, instead of the traditional ch 3 for the first stitch, do a single crochet in first stitch, ch 1. The single crochet and ch 1 count as the first stitch of the round. This makes a very neat straight edge without the gaps that you normally see in a dc project.
INSTRUCTIONS
ROW 1: ch 202, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea remaining st across. Turn
ROW 2: sc in first st, ch 1, dc in next sc, *sk next 2 scs, shell in next sc, sk next 2 scs, dc in next sc, ch 5, sk next 5 scs, dc in next st. Repeat from * across. End with sk next 2 scs, shell in next sc, sk next 2 scs, dc in last 2 scs. Turn (17 shells and 16 ch-5 sps)
TIP: Shell = (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) all in same st.
ROW 3: sc in first dc, ch 1, *dc in next dc, shell in next shell, sk next 3 dc, dc in next dc, ch 5, Repeat from * across, end with dc in next dc, shell in next shell, sk next 3 dc, dc in last dc, dc in ch1. Turn (17 shells and 16 ch-5 sps)
TIP: Shell in next shell = place stitches in the ch-2 space of the shell
ROW 4: sc in first dc, ch 1, dc in next dc, *shell in next shell, sk next 3 dc, dc in next dc, ch 2, sc around ch-5's of last 2 rows, ch 2, dc in next dc. Repeat from * across. End with shell in next shell, sk next 3 dc, dc in next dc, dc in ch 1. Turn (17 shells and 16 bows)
TIP: I call the stitches made by sc around the chains of the previous 2 rows a bow
ROW 5: repeat row 3
ROW 6: repeat row 3
ROW 7: repeat row 4
ROWS 8 thru 25: repeat rows 5, 6, and 7
TIP: To make a wider stole, continue repeats of row 5, 6, and 7 until stole is as wide as you want.
EDGING
Work in ends of rows and around the posts of the stitches
ROW 1:
first short edge: ch 1, 2 sc in ea st across to next corner.
first long edge: 3 sc in next st, 1 sc in ea st across to next corner, 3 sc in last st.

First of all I want to say thank you for all the wonderful patterns you have given us. I just started thew Bows and Arrows store and I have a ? for you about row 4. After you shell and dc, ch2 and the sc around last 2 rows of ch5, do you also sc into the 3rd ch of the 2nd row? Would this be where it starts the point? I love the look of this stole and want to give it to our post master because she has helped us with our bussiness and getting it started for the shipping part. Thanks Kanda |

Thank you, SouthernBelle. I'm honored that I could inspire you to take up your hook in a serious way. I love crochet and I'm not sure where I'd be today if I didn't have that to fall back on.
Thanks for the info on how you print. I'm sure it will be helpful to others too. I'd love to look at your site. If you'd leave your url, I'll pop on over. |

Dot, I forgot to mention that I have found the best way to print out your patters is to click on the photos, print them...then highlight the pattern, right click, select copy. Then open Microsoft word, select paste...then print it out...you get a better print and all of the type. I hope that this is helpful to some of your admirers. |

Hi Anita, I just went back to Lion Brand and did another search. That poncho is gorgeous. What is the reason you can't download the pattern? |

Hi Patty, you're welcome. I have nothing but time. I have COPD, a lung disease, and mostly stay at home and crochet. Good thing I love doing it, huh? I didn't know I could design until April of last year, and now I can't seem to get enough of it. I'm just so glad everyone seems to like what I do. |

hello Dot,
I love your patterns? I live in the Netherlands. I saw a beautiful poncho at Lionbrand, and I tried to buy it, but they do not ship outside the USA. Perhaps you can figure out the pattern of this poncho? The itemnr is 30229 AD. I look forward to your reply, many thanks and greetings from Anita |

Dot, thank you for the shawl pattern. How on earth did you find the time to make up a new pattern and make the item. I haven't even been able to finish my poncho. This shawl is a must to make. Thanks again.
