Bella Mirella
Introducing Bella Mirella, an exquisite one-skein lace shawl designed specifically to showcase the stunning Paris Night blue Malabrigo Lace skein—a true indulgence for knitters! This elegant shawl features a beautiful crescent shape and is crafted to look wonderful on both sides, with each side offering a unique charm that highlights the intricacies of the lace pattern.
Bella Mirella begins at the center, with its volume gracefully increased at the inner edge. The knitting technique employs an alternating sequence of purl and knit stitches on the wrong side, adding texture and depth to the design. This not only makes the knitting process enjoyable but also results in a sophisticated finished piece that you'll be proud to wear or gift.
Sizing options are flexible, allowing you to customize the dimensions of your shawl according to your preference. By adding more repeats of the body section, you can create a larger shawl to wrap yourself in comfort or a more delicate accessory for layering. The basic version yields an impressive 17 inches by 68 inches (43 cm by 172 cm) and typically requires around 400 yards of lace weight yarn. If you choose to work with heavier weight yarns, keep in mind that you'll need slightly more yardage.
The Bella Mirella shawl is versatile—any yarn from lace to DK weight will produce beautiful results. As a result, it's essential to adjust your needle size according to the yarn thickness and the level of lace effect you wish to achieve, ensuring your final project meets your expectations.
This knitting pattern includes comprehensive instructions, both written and charted, with thorough attention to the wrong side (WS) of the work, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, you will find joy in creating this stunning lace shawl that is sure to become a cherished piece in your wardrobe.
