EASY Beginner Knit Shawl (Detailed, how to yarn over)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- A VERY easy knit shawl, great for gifting, as there’s no sizing to worry about, it’s easy to use whatever colors you want, and they’re super warm! I believe I used about 800-1,000 yards, the yarn had no labels but I think that’s about what it was. You can obviously make this as big or small as you want, and it’d be a great stash buster!

Thanks for sharing this shawl pattern. It’s perfect for traditional dress.
Thank you for showing the finished product and not just the technique. Lovely!
Been learning how to knit this past week after always crocheting. This will be my first big project. Thank you!!! i loved your explanation and tour finished shawl ❤
Very nice. I will be using this pattern for some of my shawls in 2024. Thank you for sharing. Really appreciate it.
I have to say this video finally clicked this pattern in my head. I kept thinking mine was curving too much but not I see it's not the point it's the middle of the top. Makes so much more sense!
I’m so glad it was helpful! 💙 Isn’t it funny how some things just don’t make sense until it does? Crochet was like that for me.
Thanks for posting. I am a new knitter. I struggle with new stitches. You explained it very well. I will add this to my list. Thanks so much. Your shawl came out great!
Katy esta hermoso tu trabajo, tus instrucciones claras y precisas.Gracias por compartir tu arte y que Dios bendiga tus manos
I’m a beginner and I love the way you explained and showed how to knit the pattern, TK ❤
Thanks so much for sharing this! I've been doing Afghans and scarves, but wanted to start learning more about knitting. I'm an avid xstitcher. Your video was very easy to understand ❤️
Your finished shawl was beautiful!
Thank you so much! 💙
Simply beautiful. Can't wait to try it! 🪢🧶
Simple is always beautiful!
Beautiful, thank you 🥰
Very nice shawl and easy to follow instructions thanks 😊
❤❤❤ loved it! Beautiful project. Thanks!
I love this. I am have no, more skills in crochet although this seems very simple design to crochet
I do have a simple crochet shawl video too, if that helps! 💙

You are so young and such a wonderful knitter. Wow.
Thank you! I was really lucky to always have people willing to teach me, and tried to learn as much as I could. 💙
Have just the yarn in my stash...thanks for the tutorial,
Really nice tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to model it for us. I like the hoodie styling he he
Haha, I figured that’s how I’d wear it, so... 🤷♀️
Very clear explainations, thanks a lot.
Absolutely gorgeous!...thank u!
Thanks for the detailed instructions. Love the yarn!
Love it simple but gorgeous . 👌🏻
What a beautiful shawl! This is on my next agenda.😊
I'm making one in sage green, I'll be adding a black stripe towards the end, but it's looking like your shawl. I'm excited to finish.
Nice shawl. It looks warm.
Thanks! Is it warm, shawls are way underrated. :)
Really pretty. Great tutorial
Design your own knitted items and make lots of money. You are really very good at what you knit.
Thank you for sharing absolutely love your shawl beautiful work
Lovely🌹elegant looks
In order to know where the center stitch is, I would suggest using a stitch marker. I've knitted similar shawls like what you're doing...in fact, I am knitting one right now!
Your shawl looks good.
Absolutely! I always remind myself I need to start using stitch markers, but always forget!
@@katieb043 Lol! That's okay! I think I'd be lost without the stitch markers! My shawl would be messed up! You seem to be on top, knitting without the stitch marker--that's amazing!
Oh. My. Gosh. So pretty! I crochet but don’t know how to knit! Going to try soon 🤪
It’s so worth knowing both! I definitely prefer one over the other, depending on the project.
So very pretty!!
Fantastic Thank you SO much 💓💓💓💓💓💓🙏🥰
Thank you Katie, great tutorial 😊
Very nice shawl.
Thank you for sharing hoping to give this ago.
It’s so easy once you get going, you just gotta have patience! 😆
Love it.
Upside down view really isn’t very helpful , sorry
Unless your left handed then it is great. I do understand though
I love to knit shawls, and I have usually got at least one in progress no matter what else I'm knitting. This particular shawl is a favorite of mine, garter stitch is so soothing! Thought I knew all the tricks but you taught me something new - I've never seen that beginning starting with 3 stitches before! Thanks, now I'll have to try it!
Well see, I can’t really read patterns, so sometimes I have to just make things up, and that’s where the starting with three came from! 😆 I’m glad you enjoyed it! It was really relaxing to make.
@@katieb043 A lot of people have trouble with patterns. I think it's cool that you don't let that stop you!
Aw thanks! That’s actually part of why I like doing this. I don’t want people to be afraid of trying just because patterns can look scary!
@@katieb043
I think most knitting innovations come from people who aren't afraid to keep going and figure things out! Check out Elizabeth Zimmerman, that was her whole philosophy of knitting. She was a great innovator and tremendously influential on the craft. She died in 1999 but her books are all still in print - some of my faves are "Knitting Without Tears" and "Knitter's Almanac".
(I’m so sorry, I thought I had answered you 😅) That’s so cool! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for those books, thanks!
Do you have a written out pattern? Thank you! ❤ very pretty and I’m a very beginner!
thank you its lovely shawl! (at last somebody who knit like me english styl)
I’ve only ever heard about English style once, Nana told me that’s what we do, but I couldn’t tell you at ALL what it means! :p
@@katieb043 it is also known as throwing style. Continental style knitting is also known as picking style.
Some useless information as my husband would say. I’m an oracle for things you don’t need to know! 🤓🤣
Hi, I am a beginner and wasn't able to understand your first part due to the video being facing the other way. Kudos on your design but I can't do it. :(. Hope the mode advanced people get amazing shawls.
Very very nice. TFS!
È bellissimo sei molto brava a mostrare l'esecuzione grazie grazie
Hi, it is a beautiful shawl do you have a crochet version please?.
I cant knit, I tried and tried and failed so many times.
I wander if for the crochet version you would use a tunasian purl stitch or any other.
Many thanks.

Hey Kasia! I don’t have the crochet one yet, but it’s one of the next projects on my list! I’ll probably just do single crochet, since I want to make it as simple as possible for beginners, but that also means it should be really easy to switch to whatever kind of stitch you want. :)
I’m nearly finished my 1st shawl thanks to you! So a big thanks to you.
I’m a bit scared when to end it.
Have you any idea of how many rows you did just an estimate with help.
I have 158 on each side not counting the 2end sts & the central one.
Or approximate size.
Thanks In advance. I’m a beginner x
Yay, I’m so excited for you! I don’t remember exactly, but I think it was around two hundred rows? You can make it however big you want to. I like really big ones, long enough to hold the two ends in my hands, my Nana used to like small ones that she could just throw over her shoulders when she was sitting. :) So don’t worry too much about the size, I’m sure it’ll be awesome! 💙
What yarn did you use on your finished shawl? It turned out very well and your instructions were clear. It was beautiful and so are you. I just kept hoping to see a smile on your face. It was lovely hearing a little one in the background. Blessings from this new 70-year-old knitter! ♥️
Unfortunately I don’t know for sure, it was given to me and didn’t have the labels. It was a single ply wool, and it was the same thickness as standard size 4 worsted weight, so you could use something similar.
Pretty, I love it,,, number of the knitting sticks?
So here's the weird thing for me I'm a right-handed knitter but a left-handed crocheter, so using the crochet was weird when I had the knitting needle in my hand 😅😂
I want to be able to wrap it around my back and tie it. If I want it to start getting wider faster without getting too long do I just add increase?
I did a small sample piece, and I think you’d actually want to increase less. Instead of doing both yarn overs in the center, you could alternate between them, (before the center stitch on the first increase row, after the center stitch on the next increase row.) That would make the center point an obtuse angle rather than a right angle, so it should get wider, faster.
Do you have a written pattern to follow it would make it much easier for me thank you
I love how easy this looks. I really want to try it but I want one that has longer tails in the front so I can tie it behind my waist & keep it on easier. It doesn’t look like yours is quite long enough to do that. Would I just make it bigger? I don’t want it to hang down much longer in the back though....
Hey Andrea! So I actually just looked into this for someone else too. :) The tie in the back shawls seem to be knitted from top to bottom, whereas mine is worked side to side. That would allow you to make it longer, and it would have more stretch that way. You can find lots of patterns if you search for outlander shawl. Hope this helps! :)
lovely simple shawl, but how did you do that pretty edging though ??
Haha, I had to go back and see if I did something I didn’t remember. 😂
The edging is just from doing the yarn over! Two stitches from the end of the row. It does come out really pretty, I think it’s used in lacey patterns a lot!
When I do yarn over my stitches are really messy don't know what I'm doing wrong
Ficou lindo amei .
How do you make sure your needles are long enough fir the shawl?
tie some elastic bands (like the ones for money, not for hair) at the top of your needles. your stitches won't go anywhere
thank you for claires outlander:) this looks like Jamies Aunts shawl that she was wearing. could you do this one in chrochet that looks the same ? maybe with some slip stitches or something or a purl tunisian knit
Haha, you’re welcome? :p I haven’t seen much outlander so it wasn’t intentional, but I know a lot of their knits are pretty simple, and historically would have been made with similar yarn. I do have plans for a crochet shawl, I’m going to do single crochet, since I want to make it as beginner friendly as I can. That does mean you should be able to change your stitch though, without much trouble. :)
@@katieb043 Ill like a notificatin then :) which chrochet stitch would look like the Jocasta shawl I liked it very much
Wonder how much yarn you will be needing?
I really couldn’t say how much I used, it was all rewound into cakes when it was given to me. I think generally shawls use 3-5 hundred yards of worsted weight.
Thank you for the tutorial! I was wondering though, if I wanted the cast-off edge to have the same design as the other edges would I do a row of k2, (yo, k2tog)* repeating to the spine, do the spine as normal, rep again to the last two stitches, knit the last two stitches, then knit that row twice (with the second row getting kfb on the second and second to last stitch, plus the two on either side of the spine)?
Hey Dakota! Sorry it took me so long. I’ve been trying to picture what that would look like, but I really can’t say without actually doing it. My advice would be start a shawl with some waste yarn, and try it out. Maybe just make a doll size one? I’m so sorry I couldn’t give you a better answer!
Hi, thanks for this. Approximately how many stitches did you have at the end?
I really can’t remember for sure, I’m sorry! I want to say it was between 180 and 200? You can make it however big or small you want to though!
I would be mortified if that happened to me at the end.
Hello! Thank you for posting this! I'm currently working on my own shawl and ordered the circular needles, but I ordered the 80cm length. Do you thing I'll be able to work the length of the shawl on such short loop? I thought it'd be enough but seems pretty small now that I transferred it. Also, I saw some shawls that you can tie by itself - the corners are elongated. I am a new knitter so I have no idea how I could achieve something like that, is there something I can do?
Hey! So I can’t find my tape measure right now, but I believe 80 cm should be fine. The stitches actually squish a lot more on circular needles and you can fit a lot more than you’d think. If not, it’s very easy to switch to a longer one.
As far as tying it in the back, From what I can find those are knit top to bottom, where mine is side to side. So you would have to find a different pattern, but it still looks like something you could do as a beginner. I hope this helps, and good luck! 💙
@@katieb043 Thank you so much!
What is the yarn you used for the big shawl? That’s really beautiful, thanks!
Unfortunately I don’t know what exactly the yarn is. I’m sorry! All I can tell you is that it’s single ply, worsted weight, wool. It was given to me so I don’t have the labels.
@@katieb043 ok, thanks anyway. I love the colour. I’ll look for something similar. You’ve given me enough info. Single ply is nice to work with.
is this Jocasta s shawl on outlander
Size of the knitting sticks?
Size 8! Sorry, I can’t believe I left that out. 😄
Do you have a written pattern? I tried to follow you but had a very hard time understanding it. Because first you said on the increase rows you k1. But then @ one point you have us k2 then yo,? I tried to follow the transcript but that was just as confusing.
Please please help me.. Thank you.
Hey Anne! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I had to sit down and watch it back. :)
I think you mean right at the first row when it’s knit one, yarn over, correct? I only did that on the first row, just because there’s not enough stitches yet to do two. Once you have that first row done and have five stitches, it’s knit two yarn over, for the rest of the rows. Does that help? 💙
Is it knit 2 yo for all stitches? So not just 4 each row but it depends on the stitch #
Katie, when working the increase rows do you always only add 4 stitches? I don't know if that was made clear? Also, are the increases two k stitches in from the edge then add the YO and then YO again before and after the middle k1 st.? Thank you in advance for your reply.
I had to read that a few times and really think it through. 😂 But yes, I believe you have it all right. Increase rows are always the same. You can change the edge from two stitches to another number, as long as it’s always the same.
@@katieb043
🤣 Katie! I'm sure I didnt write that exactly clear...but so glad you understood me!👍🤣
Thank you for the reply. I started on the project and it's really looking great! (Increasing correctly😊)
I'm also adding a leaf edge! (Which I've never done before😱😂) wish me good luck!
@@roseannb2683 oooo pretty! I love the way knit leaves look, that’s a great idea! 💙
I'd really like to watch this, but I was wondering if you could do the video with the camera going the other way? For some reason it makes me dizzy 🥴
Haha, I’m sorry! :p I struggle with finding the right angle to film from. It’s not something I can go back and change, but I promise I’m trying to fix it going forward!
Hi Katie, I forwarded the video a little bit, and you had changed it. 😀 I was too quick to reply. Apologies.💜
@@JACHandmade haha, no problem! 😁 I’m glad it got easier to watch!
Hi Katie is there a place to get a written pattern to print
Sorry Terry, there isn’t. Written patterns are something I’ve just never been able to wrap my head around, let alone try to write them out.
Do you decrease as well to finish it?
Nope! I literally just went till the yarn was almost gone, and used a crochet hook to bind off. I think you could use whatever cast off you want, really.
Thanks. I'm using the I - cord bind off.
Its not for beginess
How many yards do you need for this pattern
Oh goodness. I used yarn that was given to me and had been rewound, so I had no labels. I’d guess about 600 yards? I’m sorry I can’t tell you more accurately.
That is so confusing
You needvto speak louder and clearer
We need to see the tutorial looking down on your hands, the way we look when knitting!!!
Your video is not helpful, sorry!!
Sorry about that! This is an older video, I’ve since figured out how to film it the right way, you can see it in my newer ones. I know I can still do better, but I’m always learning, and trying to do my best for you guys!
@@katieb043 I will do that
thank you
