Inspired by the quiet grandeur of Elysian Fields Avenue in New Orleans, this rectangular lace stole blends Southern elegance with mythic beauty. Panels of gothic leaves, arbor lace, parachute motifs, and delicate cherry clusters echo climbing vines, vaulted ironwork, and the breeze of a slow summer afternoon. Airy and ornate, the Elysian Stole is a meditation in lace — soft yet structured, nostalgic yet timeless. Whether wrapped for a garden wedding or worn on a quiet evening porch, it offers a moment of stillness and grace beneath the lacework of sky. This stole is worked in two halves and then joined together at the center. The pattern is both written and charted.
