In this region, there’s a smallish tree that can be seen in gardens and in the woods as well. It grows edible fruits, that are small, round and look a bit spiny, but are soft without a hard peel. The yellow fruits turn red when they mature, and they are hardly bigger than my fingertips. The fruits mature in November - December. The particularity of this tree is that while the fruits mature, the branches are also full of delicate, almost white, tiny bell-shaped flowers. The tree is called corbezzolo. This shawl takes its colors and lace pattern from these little hanging flowers. Corbezzolo is a triangular shawl knit from one tip down alternating lace panels and garter st sections. I have included instructions for how to modify the size to be able to use the most of your mini skein set and main color. **Finished measurements** Wingspan 190 cm / 74.75” depth 60 cm / 23.5” **Needles** 3.5 mm (US 4) - 100 cm / 40” circular needles, or as required to obtain gauge. **Yarn requirements** Decida Yak single (65 % Merino wool, 20 % silk, 15 % yak, 480 m / 120 g) MC: 1 skein or 400 m / 435 yds of fingering weight yarn. Shown in color Old Rose. Decida Merino single (100 % Merino wool, 366 m / 100 g) Fade set, 4 skeins 20 g each (C1 – C4) C1, C2, C3, C4: 1 skein or 73 m / 80 yds of fingering weight yarn for EACH color. Note that the sample used 19 g of C4. The sample was made using a set of 1 full skein and four 20 g minis. As my testers needed more yarn, instructions for modifying for smaller shawl have been added. Alternatively, prepare with 2 skeins of MC and 2 mini skeins of C4. **Gauge** 20 sts x 34 rows = 10 cm /4” with 3.5 mm (US 4) needles in Corbezzolo lace after blocking. (NOTE: Gauge is not crucial, but it will affect finished dimensions and yarn consumption.) **Notions** Tapestry needle. Optional: stitch markers for pattern repeats. **Techniques used** Garter tab CO, knitting flat, lace knitting on RS with basic increases and decreases, kyok 2 below, elastic BO. The pattern is both charted and written. The pattern has been professionally tech edited and it has been test knit. Please note that this item is a digital download.
