![How to knit a shawl - 8 easy patterns [and a big announcement]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dKGNJjXs9vU/mqdefault.jpg)
I did it! Nancy, you said I could, and I did!
I have been crocheting for about ten years and during Covid, I decided to to learn to knit. After many tries, I gave up, but a few weeks ago, I thought I would try just one more time. I found this video and it inspired me, especially because you said YOU CAN DO THIS!
I went to my LYS and found some beautiful, speckled wool yarn in the half-price bin and picked up my needles and jumped in. I didn't understand at the beginning where we were going with the stitches--it sure didn't LOOK like a triangle! But after ripping it out several times, I decided to keep going, despite mistakes. Guess what? I finished my shawl! I wet-blocked it, and have worn it several times this week. I love it and have received many compliments on it.
I am working on a second shawl using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in a lovely purple color and plan to make the corner-to-corner baby blanket I saw on your channel next.
THANK YOU, Nancy, for your encouragement and believing in us!
Hi! I'm 17, and I'm the only one in my family who can knit. I learned by following instructions in a book when I was 13 and was never able to do more than a pearl stitch. I hope that, by watching your videos and subscribing, you can help teach me more, and I wanted to thank you for the extremely detailed information your video provided to help me start this project. 😊
Thankfully, my grandma taught me when I was 7 and by watching videos like this and reading old fashioned sewing books, I'm learning how to expand my knowledge! I hope you can too because it can be so fun and relaxing!
I love your video tutorials Nancy! I’m almost done making this shawl in a Navy Ombré color as well as the Wavy baby blanket for a pregnant friend. Thank for leaving out the 10min descriptions of how to cast on and knot stitch and just just getting right to it….I usually have fast forward videos just to get to the actual pattern. Anything tutorials you post I am sure to make.🧶
This is just what I’ve been looking for! Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for your help. My friend recommended this video, so happy she did..... I will be looking at some more when I'm done with this shawl.

Yes thank you! Great video . Making shawls for homeless teenage moms, so want something easy to knit!
Late to the party but thank you for this! It took a little bit for me to get used to the stitch markers but it's so easy now that I have the hang of it. I've been binge watching your knitting videos all weekend!

I’ve knitted my first shawl! Thanks!!
I used you how to knit left handed video to help me learn and this is going to be my first attempt and knitting something. I can crochet but never got knitting when I was younger purely as it just was too confusing as a leftie, can't wait to see how it turns out
i remember my mom teaching me to knit and i absolutely loved it. i made lots of rectangular winter scarves lol
unfortunately, i stopped for a long time and can hardly remember how to knit ( i only remember the basics) and for whatever reason, crochet is more popular. thanks for sharing this great and helpful video of a KNITTED shawl!!
Thank you so much for this lovely pattern!
You're welcome - I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😀
You are an excellent teacher, thank you
Thank you for sharing so nicely!

Thanks so much for this tutorial! Am going to make a swaddling shawl for my daughter who is due in 2 weeks. Hope I get it done in time! 🤞🏻
This is an awesome way to use up your yarn scraps also.
Thank you for this video. I have watched other people making this shawl . And I could never figure it out how they made it. But after watching your video I think I understand how to do it. I’m going to try to make the shawl Who am I mom what Christmas. I think she is going to love it.
Hi Holly, I'm so glad it's making sense now. Keep me posted on your progress and happy Christmas knitting for your mom! 😀

Thanks again🌸🌼🌹
Thank you
I just want to say that I really appreciate your video on how to start this beautiful shawl! I asked in the past that can a shawl be made from 1 cake of Mandala yarn, and this video eventually answered my question! And I am working on 2 of these shawls, using Mandala yarn cakes! Thank you Nancy for making it easy for me and my sister!!
Correction: there is a Wool Ease yarn that I'm making the second shawl with...by Lion Brand.
Hi Patrice, I'm so sorry I didn't see your lovely comment sooner! I'm happy to hear you found this shawl and that you and your sister are enjoying knitting it! 😀
Nice knitting.
I knitted in my colour with cotton thread.
Absolutely Love This Video...Such Clear Instrutions, I've Wanted to Make A Shawl for What Seems Forever, Was Too intimidated by the Size....
I've Downloaded the Pattern "Thank You" So Much...I've Ordered Some Baby Alpaca to Make It 🧡
Hi Sally, I'm so glad the video inspired you to get started on the shawl. It's easy knitting great for working on while relaxing or watching tv. It will be done before you know it AND your knitting will be a lot faster by the time you finish it! Keep me posted on your progress. 😀
I haven't been able to locate the written pattern on the website. Can you post a link to it here? I get confused without a written pattern
@@cindym1670 If you go onto Noble Knits website she has a pdf free download for the pattern... Google easy knitted shawl by noble knits...Hope this helps
Thank you great love it
Thank you! ❤
I love the chal thanks for you time 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you!
Lovely
Just a tip if some people still get confused about if they're on a row with increases or not, I personally use two stitch markers of two different colors. I personally like green on the knit row (as in "Go, it's safe to just go and not think," lol). This way, when you get close to the center stitch, you come up on your green marker and can just knit right on through, without finding the beginning of the row (sometimes hard, especially late in the project, when the stitches are bunched up). If you come across the other color, the caution color, you know, "Hey, take it slow, you're increasing. Did you increase before the center stitch? Double check!" And then of course at the end of the row, you know it'll be a "Go," row when you turn it, which lets you know that THIS row you're still knitting is an increase row.
I've made shawls for my future mother-in-law and my future grandmother-in-law. I'm working on another for the future grandmother-in-law on the other side of the family, another one for my future-mother-in-law, and one for a friend. I love this pattern!!! It is a little difficult at the beginning; half the time I have to start over because I miss something. But once I make it to about row 12, I'm good to go and can just FLY with it. I personally prefer having three stitches along the top at the border, or even four if it's a small gauge yarn, and I slip the first stitch to make a selvedge edge, which feels neater, but this is my go-to by FAR. I really appreciate the tutorial; I still watch it every time I set up, just to get through those harrowing first 12 rows.
Love your color coded system. I always place a marker on the "odd" side of any garter stitch item, but I really like this color idea.
This I made for myself 😀
Thank you!!
Hi Genny! You're welcome! 😀
Salve mi piace molto il suo scialle..è meraviglioso. Grazie.
Thank you so much for this... I literally just started trying to learn to knit about 2 months ago and you make this look “do-able”!! ❤️❤️
You can do it! Keep me posted on your progress. 😀
Great video
Thank you so much - I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😀
I am Shawna from Idaho, not new to knitting just new to knitting shawls
Hi Shawna, I'm happy to hear you are giving shawls a try! 😀
I've used this pattern to make two shawls now. I tried a different pattern first, a bottom up pattern, but I messed up terribly because I didn't realize I needed to stop at a certain point, make two more of what I'd already made, and stitch them together. This pattern was much easier and I even like the look better. While it can be frustrating to take over half an hour to knit ONE ROW (something my family and friends -none of whom knt- cannot believe), the simplicity makes it doable and bearable.
I'm currently making a shawl from the Mantra colorway in the Lion Brand Mandala Ombre collection for my future mother-in-law as a present for helping me recover from surgery (she's a nurse, and was able to spare me my doctor father needing to be all up in my business), and after that I'm lining up one for my future grandmother-in-law, who very much feels the cold. I was able to work up to 250 stitches per row within a week, and did about 1/5 of that while actually visiting my FMIL, so she could see the process and progress. The yarn I picked matches the decor of her new condo perfectly! 😊 I'm also teaching her to knit, so showing her how to increase was fun. She was very anxious about it, and when she saw how simple it was, she couldn't believe it!
One little tip for anyone who doesn't like having to find the beginning of the row to remember if its an increase row or not (I start forgetting, when each row takes so long), is that I use one teal and one pink needle tip protector, matching the two stitch marker colors I use. I'll put the pink tip protector closer to me on increase rows (as those rows have the pink stitch marker after a few stitches), blue for rows that I knit through. At a glance it reminds me, "hey, yeah, this IS an increase row," without me having to fumble around and unbunch the shawl and find the end I've already worked. It's a small thing, but I like it. If I was using normal needles, I'd just have a hair thing wrapped around the very far end of one needle and know that if I'm working with that needle, it's an increase row, but I had to switch it up for circulars!
Thanks for the awesome video. I'm hoping to branch out to other patterns at some point, but I really enjoy this pattern and think I'll stick with it until after Christmas. Then it'll be time for three baby blankets before I can return to shawls! Stay wonderful!
Hi Amara, Thanks for sharing your tips with this shawl! When it's time for baby blankets, I've got some for you! Check out this one: ua-cam.com/video/U9N21sAAbvE/v-deo.html
Lo sto provando anche io!!♡
Spero di riuscire.
Thanks I am a new knitter
I'm so glad you found me! 😀
Such a lovely shawl. Any ideas about how to make this shawl as if beginning from the golden color so that there is a divot at the part of the shawl that would kind of double up at the wearer's neck?
What size needles did you use? Thank you for this video!!!
Jiust lovely to discover your channel deep into Lockdown! Have watched another of your videos and am hooked and subscribed.I’m wondering if I knit two of these shawls and mattress stitched the long ends together leaving a hole for a head, could I make a poncho do you think?
Lynne, What a GREAT idea!! if you did/do it, please post a picture so we can see it.
Good idea. I’m going to try it. My mil is a brilliant knitter so I’m going to get her to help. (She doesn’t know yet though I will tell her when I have knitted both)
Could you make this into a blanket. I love it x
I am new to knitting and the increase stitch so thank you for a clear video on how to do it . How do I know when I have gotten to the end? Did I miss how many rows to knit or does it naturally form the triangle?
Hi Stephanie, I'm so glad the video helped you with increasing! The pattern will naturally form into a triangle shawl. When I had about 5 yards of yarn left on my skein, I decided to bind off. You want to make sure you have enough yarn to bind off that very long row! Also, my shawl measured 22" at the center measuring from the center top down to the point. 😀
I use Portuguese knitting style it should work for purling all instead of knitting right?
Thank you very much. I have just found out, I did something wrong, and so it is nice to see, how it shall be made. I want to find the same yarn in Denmark. I couldn't find the yarn in Denmark - here is a warning, if you order this yarn in USA you will have to pay a fee of 198 DKK which far exceeds the value of the yarn. Take this into consideration. Sorry USA this is not your fault, its just danish regulations, made for stopping trade with WISH in China. I still look forward to receiving this yarn after all.
Do you do requests? If so, can you please do a hood with bear ears? also great video!
Hi Skittle Pockz, Good idea! I'll add it to my list 😀
Aww I was finally getting it then I followed the on screen instructions for row 3 and pressed play and realized it’s missing many of the yarn overs.
This looks very easy I had to stop it many times to write it down. Is there a copy some where I could print?
Hi Beth, Yes! 😀There is a FREE PDF Printable version of this pattern available here: blog.nobleknits.com/blog/easy-triangle-shawl-beginner-pattern-free
The only circular needles I could find was a size 29". They had them smaller but I couldn't find any larger. I hope they work. Novice.
Hi Shirley, I think you'll be fine on the 29" needle. When you get towards the end, you'll have A LOT of stitches on the needle. If you put stitch stoppers on the ends of the needle when not in use, you won't have to worry about stitches falling off. If you don't have stitch stoppers, you can use wine corks, rubber bands, or stick the points into the skein of yarn. 😀
I want to convert this to stockinette with an edge, which I totally understand. My issue was that the sides grew more than the center giving it a batwing appearance. Is that due to my edging?
Can you make video on how to incorporate the knitting pattern, Thank you for sharing, very helpful info. 🌼🌺🌸
Hi, I'm not sure what you mean. Please explain - I'm happy to help! 😀
NobleKnits I want to know how will I make/put a design in this simple beautiful triangle shaw? Can you make a video tutorial? Thank you so much again🌸🌼🌹
@@redredwine1277 Thanks for clarifying. I am planning on making more complex versions of this shawl in the coming months. This simple version, though, is actually my favorite because you can just relax and knit while chatting or watching tv. Have you tried this version?
NobleKnits Thanks again🌸🌼🌹 I knitted this before but now I want to use your beautiful shawls as my canvass of designing. I'm figuring out to knit a pattern stitches but I don't know how. Thanks you , be safe and God bless ❤️❤️❤️
So, since the pattern states to end on row 3 (before bind off) does that mean we complete the row 3 again and then bind off using the stitches including the YO?
Hi Misty, Great question. No, don't do row 3 again. As you're working the pattern in order, end your project on row 3 and then bind off.
Hi, I hope you see this message.
How do you continue doing this without it getting hard to work on two needles? Or do you recommend to use the ones with the string ? I love this so much. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Hi Patricia, When this shawl starts to get really long, I recommend knitting it onto a circular needle (the ones with the string). You'll knit on it exactly the same way as you would with the straight needles you are currently using. It just allows you to hold A LOT more stitches and knit comfortably. I'm so glad you are enjoying the shawl - keep me posted on your progress! 😀
NobleKnits thank you
So another question
Do I continue adding till the end or is there a time I stop adding and just knit away ?
@@patriciaalva1851 You will continue adding by working the same two rows all the way until the end. 😀
NobleKnits thank you
I would love to knit this? Would it work with a thick yarn?
Can I use a bulky 5 yarn and corresponding needles with this pattern? Thanks!
Hi Donna, Yes! You can use any weight yarn for this project. Just be sure to use the same size recommended on the YARN LABEL. 😀
Is there a way to make the sides wider so that it's easier to wrap around you without it being so long/ big? Like increasing the sides? I'm a beginner so I don't really know how to improvise like that. Thank you for your practical easy to follow knitting tutorials!! :)
This shawl will really start to look wonky if you start adding increases to make the tails longer. However, I have this older video that shows how to make a shawl with the longer tails you are looking for. Give this one a try: ua-cam.com/video/ty7jJWZ0bSA/v-deo.html
@@nobleknits Thank you for the reply! I already started knitting the triangular shawl so i'll keep on knitting as it is intended :) It's a beautiful design!
Thank you for the recommendation, that was exactly the kind of shawl design i meant, that will be my next project!
I'm looking to make a triangle shawl inspired by the one Claire wears on Outlander. If you happen to know that shawl, would you say that it is larger than this triangle? I'm thinking I will use a solid color (the one in the show is brown) and will use more than one skein if necessary, to achieve the effect. Thoughts? ( If you know the show. )😁
Hi Michelle, I'm also an Outlander fan! All of the knitted garments on the show are so enticing. This shawl is about the same size as the on the shows although you can easily knit it larger or smaller to fit your needs. 😀
Hi Michelle, you can also try this link...www.handylittleme.com/outlander-carolina-shawl-pattern/
I'm wondering if there might be a way to add length to the edges so that it could wrap around and tie in the back, similar to a Little Women triangle shawl situation. Does anyone have any suggestions for that?
If you look online, there are directions for what they call dragon wing shawls, where the ends are longer. This way, you would do a yarn over at beginning of the row too. I hope this helps.
I am making the triangle shawl in this video. I am an experienced knitter, but still have questions. I am using the #5 40inch circular needle. I have 260 stitches on the needle already, and still have more yarn to knit. Did you find it difficult when you made your shawl with 313 stitches total?
I am guessing it will, but do you think it will look good in a single color? Thinking of knitting it in Patons Grace, color citadel.
Hi Brian, Yes! This shawl will be beautiful in a solid color. I've also seen it done in a tonal hand-dye and it's gorgeous! 😀
@@nobleknits awesome. Thank you!
is that right knit to maskmarker increase move the marker knit to the next marker increase move mrker 4 times increases
I was wondering, you said you are using a size 5 circular needle. Is this American sizing? I am in Canada and wondering if this is a metric 5 mm or 3.75 mm (the 3.75 mm is equivalent to the American 5. Thanks.
Hi Angela, Sorry for the confusion! It is a US size 5 which is the same as a 3.75mm needle. If you need it, I've got a needle conversion chart too: blog.nobleknits.com/needle-conversion
Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it. Great instructions.

This video is great, thank you! I got a cake of Mandala yarn for Christmas and I was looking for a 1 skein project for it that wasn’t just the same old scarf I always make (I’m a newer knitter). Found a similar pattern on the Lion Brand website but was confused by it. This video helped tremendously!
However, how does the yarn stripe so consistently? I’m actually really confused by this but I’ve seen multiple pictures of nicely striped projects from these Mandala yarns.
Hi Sara, I'm so glad you found this video and it was helpful to you! I agree with you, Mandala is a beautiful self-striping yarn. You just knit away and it does all the colorwork for you. Enjoy! 😀
I feel like my needles won't be long enough for the shawl but I'm using 40 inch. Should I just bunch the stitches together and keep going to make more room?
Hi Cassie, 40" needles are my favorite length for shawl knitting. It takes a lot of knitting on this shawl before you need anything longer than a 40" needle. The cable of the circular needle allows you to hold a lot more stitches than you would think. When I set down my knitting, I make sure to push all of the stitches back onto the cable so that no stitches slide off. 😀
@@nobleknits Yes, I am towards the end of my shawl and I am having to bunch up my stitches. I was just wondering if that's okay to do
@@green4ever626 Yes, it's not a problem at all! Enjoy! 😀
I've started this pattern over several times. How does your small sample not have so many holes from all the YO's? Am I doing something wrong? This is my 1st pattern with YO so probably lol
I think that row three in the written (on screen) directions has omitted the second YO...
The instructions for Row 3 shown at the bottom of the screen is missing a yo after the knit 1 in the middle.
Hi Lyn, Thank you for catching that. If you click on this link you can download the corrected free pattern: blog.nobleknits.com/blog/easy-triangle-shawl-beginner-pattern-free
After a bit of frustration and almost giving up, I too realized the third row written instructions were incorrect but after watching the video a few times, I was able to figure out the correct knitting pattern. For row 3. Great pattern and great tutorial! Thanks for posting this shawl video!
can you do this on stockinette?
I can´t find where I get the pattern on the website. Where can I sign up to get it?
I get confused without a written pattern can you post a PDF of the setup and pattern rows?
Hi Cindy, Here’s a link to the PDF pattern: blog.nobleknits.com/blog/easy-triangle-shawl-beginner-pattern-free
Are the written instructions for row 3 correct? I only see 1 YO.
Are the number of stitches the same each side.
i.e 2sts ******1st ****** 2sts?
Does it matter if the yo is done before or after the marker?
Hi Eileen, Yes it does matter because it keeps your increases in alignment. On the first marker, you need to yarn over after the marker. On the second marker, you need to yarn over before the marker. On the third marker, you need to yarn over after the marker and on the fourth, you need to yarn over before the marker. Keep me posted on your progress! 😀
@@nobleknits Thanks!
Does knitting the yarn over increas the stitches? Xx
Hi Katherine, Knitting the increase does not increase the stitches. It's the yarn over itself that creates the increase. So on the yarn over rows, you'll have 4 increases. On the next row, you won't have any increases.
@@nobleknits thanks for all ur advice I’ve nearly finished my shawl, wanted to ask you something, I have a UA-cam channel myself and I’m going to be talking about Christmas crafts of all types including knitting how’s it’s good to do for mental health gift giving and as a hobby. Can I say I got the pattern from your channel and blog and you teach knitting skills for very beginners if they want to take up knitting. My channel is still very new but I’m sure some of my subscribers would be interested xxxx
@@lv4eva1 I'm so glad you have been knitting your shawl successfully! You are more than welcome to link to my videos and blog posts. I wish you lots of success with your new channel - it's worth the effort! 🥰
I don't understand how your top edge came out flat? I followed a tutorial from Nimble Needles to make a shawl just like this one, but the top edge still comes to a slight point and folds over when I put it on.
I have no stitch markers Actually I have never heard of thenCould I just tie a fragment of yarn round the needle loosely? Thank you
@joanfordham U could use paperclips, tiny elastics, safety pins, keychain rings. Make 1 a different color with nailpolish or permanent marker.
Denise van Heerdt Thank you ! All good ideas >I have a bracelet made of those tiny elastic bands that kids used to make jewellery Thank you again for taking the time to reply
So..I’m trying this pattern but row 3 is not coming out right. I’ve tried numerous times I keep coming up one stitch short. It seems like there isn’t enough stitches to do the last two sets of K2. You have 7 stitches for row 2 but then in row 3 it has you knitting a total of 8 stitches. What am I missing? Thank you.
It’s been resolved with the help of my FB knitting group. When you say K2 marker, it means knit to marker, not knit TWO.
I thought I was going crazy I was having the same problem,I had to correct my printed copy,thank u.❤️😘🌹
How can any circular needle hold all the stitches?
Hi John, I use a 40" circular needle and it is plenty of room to hold all the stitches. The stitches smoosh together on the cable and hold the stitches really well. If you are worried about the stitches falling off the needle when not in use, you can use stitch stoppers. However, I find when I'm not knitting, if I just slide all of the stitches onto the cable and away from the needle tips, I don't lose or drop any stitches. 😀
Can this be made with straight needles? Ugh I’m having trouble finding a tutorial for straight needles 😢
Hi! What K1 or K2 means? I’m from Colombia and want to learn all the knitting language in English hahaha, but I cannot figure out what does the k1 or k2 means!! 😢 thank you!!!
I have tried and tried but I feel so discouraged I keep messing up on the yarn overs or something :( Ive chrocheted for 20 years but this knitting of this shawl I just cant do :( Im an english nitter. could this be my problem? I just seem to be doing something wrong
Hi Virginia, I know you can do this! If you are fairly new to knitting, you might want to try this diagonal shawl first: ua-cam.com/video/JQ-QqVLu6z0/v-deo.html After that, come back and give this triangle shawl a try. Here are some tips. The first few rows are a little annoying until you start to see the pattern emerge. You will be knitting the entire shawl with the exception of the yarn overs which create the increases. Be sure to use stitch markers that are close in size to the needle. That way, your yarn overs won't get tangled in with the stitch markers. Also, use a contrasting colored stitch marker at the beginning of the increase row. Let me how you are progressing - I'm here to help! 😀
I wanted to thank you for showing me how to make my first shawl. Could you please help me about how much yarn would use to make it using fingering yarn. I think that’s what it’s called it’s a #3 yarn.
Hi Louisa, Congratulations on your first shawl! Here's a little bit more info on yarn weights. A #3 yarn is called a DK weight yarn while a fingering weight yarn is much thinner and known as a #1.
Here's an approximation for how much yarn you'll need: #1 Fingering: 700 yards and #3 DK: 500 yards.
I have a handy Yarn Weights Comparision Chart that you can print and keep in your knitting bag: blog.nobleknits.com/yarn-weights-comparison-chart
In addition, you may enjoy my Yarn Bootcamp Course. It explains all of that and much more about selecting the right yarns for your knitting: www.nobleknitsu.com/courses/yarn-bootcamp
so i really know nothing aboutknitting... how do you do those first 5?
Hi Betta, in the video I show you how to knit the stitches. However, it is meant for a beginner who has learned the basics such as cast on, knit, and bind off. You may want to check out my Knitting 101 course. www.nobleknitsu.com/courses/beginner-knitting
@@nobleknits oh thanks haha. i just found out about the shawl and i want to try it myself ^.^
