NEEDLES: US size 4 (3.5 mm) circular needle, 32” or longer to accommodate the number of stitches at the armholes and above (or size needed to make gauge), plus an additional needle in the same size for working a three-needle BO.

Adventurous Beginner- This pattern is suited to the adventurous knitter with some experience seaming (using mattress stitch and the three-needle BO method) and working in the round.
Notes From the Designer:
•Think of Shala as the sister tee to Hadi: they share the same lace pattern, but are shaped differently.
•Shala is a Dolman style tee with lace at the shoulders instead of the full bodice.
•This piece is knit flat in two pieces and seamed at the sides, with stitches picked up around the neckline and armholes to work the trim in the round.
•A three-needle BO across the top of each sleeve adds strength to the shoulders.
•Shala is my favorite kind of garment construction: simple but structured. You’ll enjoy adding this to your summer wardrobe (and may find yourself wearing it year round!).
•Click the Videos tab to watch a video of how to work the three-needle BO for this pattern. Woop! Another knitting skill under your belt!

Enjoy working it and love the yarns

Oh my gosh! I believe this might be a sister pattern to Hadi (or at least very similar)! I loved making Hadi for one of my daughters! The directions were clear, it was an easy lace pattern to repeat, fun to put together, and overall a dream birthday gift to give her. I have another daughter and you might need to guess what I am making her! Shala!

Love the simple elegance of the pattern and am having a hard time picking which colorway to use!!!
Shala Pattern
I love that it comes in so many sizes, but given the fact that it's knit flat and not in the round, I doubt I will actually make it. I'm not a fan of seaming. I do have the yarn to make it though so maybe I'll change my mind.
Shala
I haven’t made this yet; looking forward to it. Nice pattern.
Shala
Magnifique .
Fabulous pattern
I absolutely love this pattern, especially the fact that it comes in so many sizes!
