The result is an elegant elongated diamond that looks beautiful whether draped over the shoulders or wrapped snugly about the neck. Spreading Vines may be knitted in two sizes: stole and scarf. The same instructions are followed for both sizes; the difference lies in the weight of the yarn used. The stole is knitted in sport-weight yarn, and the scarf in fingering-weight.
