Dahlia Delight
from Fiddlesticks Knitting

Dahlia Delight is a stole which uses traditional Estonian lace patterns in a non-traditional way. The diamond-shaped pieces remind us of the exuberance of "dinner-plate" dahlias, while the triangular sections suggest the leaves of the plant.

The stole takes on different personalities with different colourways. Shown are two ideas— a soft, delicate version in pinks and blues, (on the left) and a bold, vibrant version in reds and browns (below).

The stole is worked by knitting four diamond shapes from the centre outwards. Then the live stitches from each side are placed on the needles so that the triangular sections can be worked. I-cord is added at the edges, and optional tassels finish the points.

NOTE: Fiddlesticks Patterns use charts.
There are detailed instructions on the garment construction, how to work the charts and special stitches, but the stitch pattern designs are all charted.

Addi Turbo Lace Knitting Circular Needles
These fabulous new circular needles from Addi Turbo - the long respected name in well-crafted knitting needles - offer you enhanced features for both lace and sock knitting. They have sharp tips making it easier to work fine stitches; the needles are coated to give just the right amount of 'stick' so you have better control of lace stitches; and they have smooth joins between the needles and cord.

When selecting a needle size note that while the pattern has a suggested size (see above for Recommended needle size), you may need to use a different needle size in order to get gauge. If your experience with other Fiddlesticks patterns is that you have to go up or down a needle size to match gauge, then select the appropriate size.
