Pattern Description:

Delight yourself with the color and texture of Flames of Fall. Beads and flames of lace endue a soft glow of warmth in this pleasingly reversible stole.

The name for Flames of Fall Stole was inspired by the pretty Fall colors in the new Crystal Palace yarn color for Fall 2012 that they call Harvest.

For you Hunger Games fans, I'd love to see you pick color(s) that step you into the character of the "Girl on Fire".
