“Sharbella” means “beautiful scarf” in Italian, and that’s exactly what this is! Elegant and pretty, with gentle shaping and lace trim along one side. The DK weight yarn makes this a good lace project for knitters who have never tried knitting lace before, and the video tutorial walks you through the tricky parts and gives guidance for making this stress-free lace knitting. This pattern is designed by Mari Chiba.
Size: 55” long x 18” deep at midpoint
Yarn: 450 yards of DK weight yarn in wool or wool blend
Needles: US 6 (4mm) knitting needles, circulars or straights
Notions: stitch markers, tapestry needle
Gauge: 20 sts x 28 rows = 4” in stockinette before blocking, 18 sts x 22 rows = 4” in stockinette after blocking. Note: Gauge is not essential for this pattern, but differences in gauge will affect the overall size of your shawl and the amount of yarn required.
This pattern is available on Ravelry.
The yarn I used in my finished shawl is no longer available, but any DK weight wool yarn will do. 🙂

The needles I used for demonstration are Knitter’s Pride Bamboo Double-Pointed needles, and Knitter’s Pride Dreams from an interchangeable set.
The nail polish I’m wearing is by Julep, color “Linnea”.
My silver ring is actually a knitting needle gauge, and can be found here.
I got my stitch markers here.
