Nuo Stola Scarf Crochet Pattern

Nuo Stola in Berroco Millefiori Big

What is Being Made

The Nuo Stola is a crocheted scarf or shawl designed by the Berroco Design Team. This is version 2 from Booklet #392. The finished piece measures approximately 14 inches wide by 83 inches long (not including fringe after blocking), making it a long, elegant accessory suitable for draping or wrapping.

Craft and Technique

This project uses the crochet technique and is classified as a beginner skill level, making it accessible to those new to crochet. The construction method involves creating modular square motifs that are joined together with striped sections. This modular approach allows crafters to build the stola in manageable segments, which is particularly helpful for beginners managing a longer project.

Stitches Used

The pattern employs fundamental crochet stitches including:

• Double crochet (dc) – the primary stitch forming the fabric structure
• Chain stitches (ch) – used for spacing and creating decorative elements
• Slip stitch (sl st) – used for joining rounds and connecting motifs

The square motifs are constructed in the round using these stitches, with chain-3 corner spaces creating defined structure. The gauge for the Stripe Section pattern is 11 double crochets and 5 rows equaling 4 inches, ensuring proper sizing and drape.

Materials

Yarn: Berroco Millefiori Big in colorway #5859 Viola. The project requires 7 balls of yarn, with each ball weighing 100 grams.

Tools: A size 8.00 mm (L-11) crochet hook or the size needed to obtain proper gauge. A tapestry needle is also required for finishing and weaving in ends.

The pattern emphasizes checking gauge before beginning, as taking time to verify the correct tension ensures the finished stola will meet the specified measurements and have the intended drape and appearance.
