I appreciate how you casually said, I'm a continental knitter, and got straight to work. I crochet and have had the hardest time trying to find continental knitting tutorials so far.
I learned to crochet when I was young so when I learned to knit as an adult continental was the most comfortable option for me. You should see some of the videos where I try to show stitches with right and left hand ... hilarious. All of my videos will have continental in them, right hand occasionally. Hmm, maybe I should add continental knitting to my tags?
@@WatchBarbaraKnit Please. At least for your knew videos. Not sure what the process would be for old ones, but at least they would be easier to find.

Oooh! Thank you, Barbara, for a simple pattern that I can knit while mentally vegging out at the end of day! Easy beginner pattern that I can make and actually wear! Thank you for sharing your skills so succinctly!
Have fun!
Can you add a border to this creasant shawl
You are a beautiful human. This little shawl pattern makes sense. Thank you.
Oh thank you!
Your tiny shawls are adorable.
So glad I found you.
Also love your pace in explaining how to make the stitches
Thank you for taking the time to convey such kind words! I am glad you enjoyed the video.
I just found you and I’m so glad I did. I love this pattern! I used to knit years ago and I’m trying to get back into the swing of things. I like your step by step technique. Very helpful. Thank you so so much! Think I’m going to go try out this pattern now!
I am so happy you found me too!
thank you so much for this information. I love a simple pattern and yes, my favorite shaped shawl is crescent too. Take care.
I hope you have fun knitting it up!
Your sample is so cute, all the trendy Barbie's and all the knitters for themselves are going to want one! Love your channel.
LOL. I'd love to see pictures of Barbies modeling these!
Love tiny shawl! Great for dolls! Thank you Barbara!
Thanks!
Super easy pattern Barbara, thank you, ideal for using up oddments.
Yes, it would be super cool as a scrappy project. I'd love to see whatever you knit up.
Yes-I would love to know how to knit your stretchy bind-off. I've been looking for a shawl for DAYS and this is the only one that's got what I was looking for! I can't wait to get started. Love your videos, your simple explanations, and your enthusiasm. :)
You can find that here: ua-cam.com/video/7uu_SkKmsug/v-deo.html I am so glad you were able to follow along with my video!
This is a great how to video for me as a novice! I truly appreciate your clear instructions and demonstrations. Thank you!
That is wonderful to hear. I cannot wait to see what you knit up!
You are right!That tiny shawl is SOOOOOO cute!!😍
tiny things always are, aren't they LOL?
Thank you, Barbara! This is a fun video, getting to knit along with you.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Please feel free to share the video link with your knitting friends.
Thankyou! I have a wedding to attend, and I needed a new shawl. This one is perfect!
I'm sure it will be amazing!
Love your work !! Easy to follow patterns. Stay healthy .
Thank you!
This is so cool and nice of you I can't wait to try something (pattern) that you have done Thank you and as always love watching your video's
YAY! I'd love to see it if you start knitting it up!
your mini shawl makes a perfect Barbie shawl! I would have loved that when I was a kid & playing barbies. :)
LOL, I am sure. Unfortunately I have a 12 yr old son and no Barbie aficionados in my life. If you do a Barbie shawl I'd love to see a "modeled" picture. :)
dear Barbara I could not resist to buy your wonderful Ves "!!!! your video are so clear and original as well thank you !!
Thank you! I hope you have fun knitting it.
Sooooo glad I found you this morning! I’ve never knit a shawl, but I spun a beautiful ombré yarn to knit a crescent lace shawl - and I’ve been so confused about the instructions! I couldn’t visualize how the ombré sets so nicely into the pattern. This helped me visualize it so much better. Thank you!
Fantastic! Thank you.
This is great! I'm a beginner knitter and I think this is one I can definitely make. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Fantastic! If you want to join the Facebook group I'd love to see pictures of your project!
Just found you! I am in love with the tiny shawls. Thank you!
Oh the tiny shawl! Sometimes I wish they'd never grow up LOL.
This shawl is so beautiful !
Thank you!
I want you to know how much I appreciate your video on making this very easy shawl! I enjoy knitting and making shawls---you are such a very nice yet fun-loving lady!! Thank you for making this very easy! I am ready to make this shawl, and I will teach this to my sister! ,
I am so glad it was helpful for you!
Thank you so much 🌸🌸🌸 this is absolutely a brilliant shawl!!!
I'm so glad you like it! Please feel free to share the video link with your knitting friends!
Thank you for sharing, very helpful info. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
Thanks for this video. I’m just learning to knit and read patterns. Having this kind of up close instruction with the pattern alongside is invaluable. Also, it’s good to know experienced knitters are annoyed by the cable too lol!!!
I'm so glad it was helpful and yeah, that cable can be a pain LOL.
Love your instructions! I'm a Crochet Woman but over the years, I have practiced knitting. Have learned a bit but believe I can learn alot from you! Thx so much... Mary
Thank you so much for your kind words. I try my best to be both educational and fun!
Well you persuaded me to knit my first ever crescent shawl, “with holes” !! Love it so far, on my fourth pattern repeat. Thank you.
Woo Hoo! I hope it's going well.
WatchBarbaraKnit It is now but had to frog it as I was trying to knit and talk at the same time and forgot whether I was on row 3 or 4!!
Thank you for this very helpful video. I will be starting this today. I love your friendly very practical style ❤️😂
You got this!
Thank you ♡
(Crescent shaped shawls are also my favorite 😍)
They are the best. Have fun.

I just found you a few weeks ago. I've been watching different channels on beginning knitting, but I find you easier to follow. This is the first thing I've knitted with your recommended bind off. I'm so proud of myself. I think I can do this. You are an excellent instructor and video is very clear. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words! I am so glad that you have found someone (me) that you clicked with. Every student has a different learning style and every teacher has a different teaching style - that's why there is so much room for more!
@@WatchBarbaraKnit WOW. Was definitely not expecting a response to an old video. But thank you so much. Now I'm scouring UA-cam for recommended straight needles and circulars and most common sizes used. I live on Guam where unfortunately I have to order supplies, tools and accessories. Looking forward to all your future videos.
Thank you for the video I love it now I think that I can attempt this can't wait to try love to watch all of your videos keep it up thanks again
If you do decide to attempt it make sure to report back on your progress. If you have any issues please do not hesitate to ask. If you do the FaceBook thing I monitor the Watch Barbara Knit page daily.
Love the tiny version, great directions, looking forward to knitting the Mama version, thanks.
Hope you have fun with the knitting!
Love that shawl on the display, really pretty!
Thank you so much. It has BEADS!
Thank you so much for this! I’m a beginner knitter who’s had enough of making practice swatches. I wanted to actually make something and this is the perfect project. Lots of knits with just enough purls and some basic decorative increases. Yes, I’ve started and frogged a couple of times because I couldn’t see how to fix my beginner’s mistakes but I’ve got the hang of it now!
I am so glad you are on your way to success! I hope you have fun!
You have the best tutorials. Many thanks. And you knit CONTINENTAL!,!!!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😄😄😄😄
Thank you! I have tried to knit with the yarn in my right hand and it always ends badly LOL.
Hi Barbara, I am a beginner knitter and just recently found your channel. I have started this shawl. Thanks for a great pattern and tutorial. It is so clear and easy for a beginner to follow. Many thanks
Welcome!
Just found your channel and this is the first video I've watched. You are so adorable! Thanks for this fun tutorial. (: Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much! I tried to knit a crescent shawl but always ended with a bump in the midle! this was so frustrating. Then I found your tutorial. Girl, this is genious! The curve is perfect, the instructions are super simple. I love it! Thank you so much for sharing!
That bump can be annoying and it is frequently present. Blocking can fix a lot of it!
Making one right now love the pattern
That's wonderful to hear!
I just finished this pattern. It is my very first shawl. I love the fit. I love the comfort. I knit it in Lion homespun yarn. I used almost two skeins. Thank you, for sharing this shawl pattern!
I am so glad that you enjoyed the pattern!
Thank you for this lovely pattern. I am going to start one right now.
Fantastic! If you feel like it, pop by the FB group and share pictures of your work!
Thank you, love this shawl pattern :)
I'm so glad! Feel free to share the link with your knitting friends. :)
Really interesting, learnt how to do the long tail cast on too!!
Thank you.
LOL, yeah, once I started I just couldn't stop.
I love the little shawl! It would be so cute for either a Barbie, or a 18” doll
I have it on a Star Trek action figure LOL. No girl children in this house.
Thank you for such a lovely pattern!!!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much. I am happy to find you. 😀 ❤️
I'm glad you found me too!
I wish I had found your videos earlier... You make this so simple and easy to follow! I'm actually doing a crescent shaped shawl with no stress. :)))
Well, I am happy to be hear for you now! What's next on your list of things to learn? I might be able to help!
Thanks,@@WatchBarbaraKnit! I'm trying to do bobbles, but they don't look very good. ;(
Thank you....thank you.....this is going to be your most watched video
That would be fabulous. Please feel free to share the link with your knitting friends.
I found this video after watching the one for the Curved Asymmetrically Shaped Shawl and was going to do that one first, but I think I'll start with this one instead. I have a couple of skeins of yarn I'd like to try using and see how it comes out with this pattern instead. Then I'll do the other. I also have a couple of your other patterns in my Ravelry cart. I foresee myself being busy for a while in the future. Yay! 😄
That is wonderful to hear! Both of the shapes are super fun to knit!
Really enjoyed that, thank you, Barbara!
I'm glad you liked it. Please feel free to share the link with your knitting friends!
I can´t believe I am knitting a crescent shawl! Thank you :)
You can totally do it! I hope that I will get to see it when you are done!
I love those snazzy purple needles!!
Thank you. I thought they would look good in the video. They are surprisingly pointy but I have got to do something about the cable.
Thank you for suggesting this video. I do believe i can do this. After i finish this toddler dress (crochet) I'm making, I will give this a whirl.
That is great to hear! You have fun.
Thanks for the video! Yes, yes, yes....would love a video on a stretchy bind off.
It is now at the top of my list!
Thank You! I used this for a skein of Manos Marina and just added some pearls in the lower part.
Very cool! I bet it is beautiful.
Thank you for this pattern. I like the fact that this started with straight across stitches instead of the CO 3sts, turn 90deg...turn 90deg. I'd usually get frustrated thinking "why not start this with the intended number of stitches?" Now Barbara shows me the possibilities.
Garter tab is usually used to make sure that the selvedge is identical all the way across the top as opposed to having that little blank spot between the eyelet edging. I find that I don't mind the little space as much as I am annoyed by garter tabs LOL.
I bought yarn for another shawl project, but I am going to make this one instead. Many thanks for the free pattern.
I hope you will share what you knit up!
Hi I love this pattern, would love to give this a try, I've made a triangle shawl, this is my next project, Thanx for the idea ,great n is simple x
Triangles are super fun to knit but I'm glad you're giving the crescent a try.
Thanks so much for this pattern. I make a lot of doll accessories and am going to try this out on one.
Have fun!
Thank you! Very clear demo and instructions. I would love too see a demo on your fav bindoff.
It is definitely going to have to come soon. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Share it with your knitting friends!
Thank you. I am a visual learner and these basic techniques demonstrated for me do so much more than me pulling my hair out staring at the words on paper. I also like the fact this knitting podcast that I learn from because of the information you demonstrate as as opposed to the videos that brag about FO and offer nothing.
I am so glad you found it helpful. I am trying to do different stuff from your typical 1 hr + podcast style knitting video, that is why all of my videos are around 15 minutes (give or take). If you have any suggestions I am all ears.
Thank you 🙏🏻Can’t wait to make this ❣️🧶
Yay! Can't wait to see it!
Thanks Barbara, I'm on it.
I can't wait to see it!
Oh thank you Barbara😀
I can't wait to see what you knit up.

Excellent video. I'm heading to FB to join up with your group. Thanks!
Yay! I'm glad you like the video and I can't wait to see what you knit up.
Thank you SO much i always wantes to do something like but i never thought i could!!
Of course you can. And if you make errors you can simply pull the yarn out and try again - it's just yarn!
Fabulous!! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome!
I am also using redheart super saver jumbo acrylic yarn .
It’s Awesome
Look at this !!! In some way is like a lace shawl make in round for a part !!
Hybrid vigour is the pattern name I found in the net
Cool!
Very fine explanation thnk u
Спасибо большое! Мне очень понравился Ваш урок!!
Thank you so much! I really liked your lesson!
Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed the video.
amazing talent!
Thank you so much!
Lovely and simple. Thanks Barbara. I was just researching Crescent shaped shawl and knit and crochet and this is easy but very nice. I did one with 2 increases on every row but I like the shape of this much better.
Fantastic! I am curious how 2 sts every row turned out shape wise. I have a hard time visualizing this kind of stuff, which is why I spend half my day swatching!
Great video. I’m trying to get a better idea of how too down shawls work. The little shawl at the end was so cute. I could just imagine on a super special little doll.
I put one on my pet bunny LOL!
Love it 😀 😍 thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
Yes would love to see the stretchy lace bindoff
It is on the list!
Wow keep up the good work .
I'll do my best!
Preciso fazer esse xales, adorei, vou fazer😍
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.
Have fun knitting!
Thanks again🌷
Always welcome!
I love it
YAY!
This is going to be my first shawl
How exciting! Please share when you get started (are you on FaceBook?)
WatchBarbaraKnit , yes I am on Facebook. I am part of your Facebook group.
antoninette alexander Yes you are! Matching all of the names across different platforms can be confusing. When you get started knitting I'd love it if you share over there!

Thank you so much. This is just what I wanted. I really like your friendly style too. I would just like to make one EBI (even better if): I’d find it really helpful if the yarn was bright red or some colour that is easier to see against the background. Thank you again.
I am constantly trying to improve my videos and this one is almost four years old LOL! My main concern, from feedback from viewers with visual disabilities, is that there is high contrast between the needles and the yarn. It has taken some time to find the right balance and I'm still working on it. I do tend to use medium toned yarns in newer videos. But red is a problem for my camera LOL - it just doesn't like to film it.
I didn’t even notice how old it is. I really appreciate you thinking about VI people - thank you. I’m part way through the shawl and really appreciate the pattern. I tried a few options and your one was my favourite.
Wonderful!
Please do a tutorial on the stretchy bind off.
It is in the works! Thanks for watching.
I am making this.cute.
Have fun!
Thank you!!
Happy Knitting!
