This stole will take you to exotic worlds filled with lush flowers and fascinating elephants. Whether you pair it with a casual or elegant outfit, you are sure to attract admiring glances and receive many compliments!

The stole is knitted in the double sided knitting technique. Thus, it is extra soft and looks beautiful on both sides.

If you like the elephant but prefer smaller projects, there is a pattern for the elephant as potholders / dishcloth: https://www.crazypatterns.net/en/items/116479/indian-love-double-sided-knitting-pattern-for-potholders-dischloths

Required skills: double knitting in general. Due to the size of this project, I don't recommend it as a starter project for double knit beginners (unless you really really want to knit it and have enough stamina for it )
