Knitted Asymmetrical Shawl Tutorial

[@Nine28457]

This scarf is actually more lovely in real life than it shows on the video. It self borders on two sides... One side with the eyelets, and the other side with the two stitches knitted together. Very happy with the results, and it's so easy to do! Don't get discouraged if it doesn't look right when you start. It needs several rows to start coming together. Just go with it.

[@suem190]

Thank you so much. I can't read patterns and your tutorial and straight forward explainations eventually made sense. And instead of giving up, I now can see and can DO knitting.

[@MandyCloud55]

You make it so easy! thank you!

[@lauramcdonald9458]

Thank you from a beginner knitter. Starting this today

[@wulfcwen]

Great Tutorial and so easy to follow thank you. I have some yarn in my stash and think this would be a great way to use it up.

[@TammyPowley]

Thank you so much for posting this. I was totally missing adding the extra stitch in row 3 and nothing was increasing!

[@quiltingjen]

Love the way you explain everything, thank you I am going to start today. Keep your videos coming.

[@darleneadealy3342]

Thanks , you just made my day, also love your humor and clear instructions.

[@TheJulietss]

Thank you for this great tutorial which made things very clear. I've been trying triangular shawls, actually I loved knitting the "age of brass and steam" shawl (I couldn't have done it without the video instructions), but I was always kinda afraid of the asymmetrical as I'm a beginner and have difficulty in understanding so many abbreviations and techniques. But your video made things so clear, thanks for uploading this, it's a confidence booster! I'm getting pass some of my preconceptions about shawl knitting, still baby steps but that's something :) so, thanks again!

[@rhosteph]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been wanting to make this, but I haven't figured out patterns yet. This was so helpful.

[@colleencoover2189]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I love that you focus on easy to repeat patterns. I'm a crocheter teaching myself to knit with aran weight yarn on a 6.5mm knook. This is my first project... going well so far! I have an aversion to garter stitch fabric, so I've been purling the odd (non-eyelet) rows, increasing the last stitch with the KFB as usual. It's coming out in a nice drapey stockinette with just a tiny bit of curl, but I think it will block out!

[@FiberSpider]

Funny enough I have a stockinette aversion because of the curling, lol. So glad its working out for you though! Something you may want to try though would be a slight border of seed stitch or garter stitch, say five or three stitches wide on each side to prevent the curling.

[@sheilamurphy9079]

Thank you Fiber Spider!
I greatly enjoy your videos!!

[@sandygrogg1203]

You are such a good teacher.. So calm.. Thank you..

[@ConnyNordlicht]

Thank you! The first stitches are beasts and it works the better the nearer you work at your tips! Near the eand of the tips but not so that they fall down youll work the easiest way! All the best to you!

[@patricecooper8419]

Hello Fiber Spider! You have really inspired me!! Because I have made 2 of these shawls--one is finished, and the other one is still being worked on, which means that I will have 2 of these shawls!! This is great!! I really enjoy watching your videos, which is why I have some shawls!! Thank you so much! You are really wonderful!!

[@lorelebeverland5585]

This is the first knitting I have done since my dtr was in Jr. High. As you showed the YO and the KFB, I remembered them. I though this would be a great start to practice my tension and uniformity. I ordered circular needles but don't have them yet so I am using my grandmothers straight needles. I had frogged a lot of my Christmas items that didn't sell and tied them all together and rolled in quite a few balls. I'm just going to use them to practice with. Whatever color comes up will be random. Should be a great practice item. Loved the tutorial. Very easy to understand. Made me remember how much I loved knitting.

[@judylee3589]

This is so cool. Can't wait to try it.

Thank you for simple lesson and very beautiful result

[@kathytincler2446]

Exactly what I have been looking for! I'm a slow learner...the other tuts with stitch markers & remembering to keep 4 sts on the 1 side etc. was confusing me. This will do just fine. I actually want it be neckerchief size. Thank you so much. BTW....I just now came across you & will subscribe & catching up on your vids :)

[@FiberSpider]

You have to learn to crawl before you can fly, and you are taking the first step! I've been stitching for almost 20 years, and I'm still learning new things, it's how we grow. Stay inspired and you can do it! 😉

[@FiberSpider]

Thank you very much! It's really easy to do, and the yarn really lends itself to the project. Do you plan on making one?

[@chadroberts7099]

Yes would you happen to have a written pattern I bought myself some Caron cakes. I knit and crochet for charity. I am in love with it!

[@FiberSpider]

I'm sorry but I don't have a written pattern, however I did find one in Ravelry under the name "Linus Shawl". Nice to see another hybrid stitcher, and that you too give to charity 😊

[@chadroberts7099]

I will look it up I love the shape of it! Thank you so much for the tutorial!!

[@FiberSpider]

I love it too, still a triangle but a great variation from the typical shawl shape. Again, you are so very welcome!

[@lea6555]

Best tutorial on this yet. Question, I'm a firm knitter does it pay to be a bit looser when knitting this?

[@FiberSpider]

Thank you, I often have a death grip when knitting so lately my solution is going up in needle size. Typically one would use size 8 for worsted weight yarn, I mostly use size 10 these days - works like a charm for me. Most importantly - do what works for you! 😉

[@lea6555]

@@FiberSpider Thank you! I am definitely trying that 👍👍👍

[@marilynbunte5376]

Thank you. I would like to use fine thin yarn, would this work okay for this pattern? I love your blog.

[@phoebegibbs2181]

Dear Fiber Spider - thanks for your cool video collection. I am usually a crocheter and am trying (struggling. actually) with learning to knit. I have started this "easy" shawl about 30 times and every time.. eventually I see a mistake and I try to unravel and pick it up - and it always does not work. Crochet is so easy in this respect! I can see the hole, or see that I forgot whether I was on a YO row or what ever else I could have messed up on - are there tips and secrets you can share or send me to? Thanks - learning ~albeit slower than I'd like ;D

[@sandygrogg1203]

I love it… I’d probably put a stitch marker on the knit row… I always get thungs mixed up… B]no matter how simple…🙃

[@ericabates5361]

Hello, does this shawl make a shallow style shawl or a larger style shawl please? 😁 Erica x

[@annamgoldberg7252]

Please tell me the name and source of the yarn. Your shawl is beautiful.

[@tepitp]

it's a beauty! can I mix organic, cotton, merino and acrylic? a good friend of mine gave me 5 bags of yarns...I really love this shawl. It was easy to follow you. Thank you

[@FiberSpider]

I would be careful and wary about using different fibers for one project that you plan on washing since they react differently and can shrink leaving you with what looks like cooked bacon, lol

[@malabanerjee8424]

Sir I like to discuss with you one thing. If I want to have this loop design on the binding side can I make a straight line by yern forward k 2 way. What is your opinion sir.

[@jbonilla257]

Graciasmil, Muy Bonito.

[@micheleburford4308]

Love this pattern, it so cool. I'm making my second... thanks for your tutorials.

[@teresaminoux4819]

I understand the pattern, but when you reach the wide section, does the pattern automatically decrease back to the point , like when you start? If not how do you decrease back down to the starting point, so that beginning and end are similar?

[@jilly7306]

Does it matter what type of wool you use for this? And never tried circular needles 😬

[@andreahoke9740]

Hello, I have one question how many rows do I knit before I start decreasing? Do I need to purchase the pattern for this project?
Have a great day!

[@suchetatripathi-is6ji]

How many stitches will be there when we end up
How long will it be

[@redredwine1277]

Thanks again🌺🌷🌸

[@paulamckay3482]

I'm knitting this on a size 8 circular needle, could you please tell me how many stitches should I do before binding off.

[@FiberSpider]

It's totally a matter of personal taste 😊 I like the long top edge to be at least the length of my arms outstretched from fingertip to fingertip. When the piece is on circular needles it can be tricky to determine how it will look layed out flat so I recommend checking out this video on how to use a lifeline
ua-cam.com/video/t0vQccdOaL8/v-deo.html
I hope this helps answer your question 😉

[@paulamckay3482]

can you use a size 8 circular needle to make this, and can you knit the 2 stitches together in front

[@FiberSpider]

Yes to both questions. I just prefer size 10s because it gives me a looser drape, and the k2tog method as a personal preference.

[@paulamckay3482]

need to ask one more question will 364yds/333m of Red heart make this shawl .I like your channel and JoannesWeb, sorry when I ask what size needle to use to make them I only have the size 8 circular needle ,

[@FiberSpider]

No need to apologize 😊 That may be enough, however I always tend to err on the side of caution and try to have more on hand just in case, especially when making something for the first time

Thank you for making this video! I just found this pattern and needed a video to show me exactly how it was done. I LOVE this pattern and plan to make a BUNCH of these in every color I have! This video is great.
I don't know how you can use bamboo needles, I can't stand the drag on them. I am using ChiaoGoo needles that I get on Amazon. They are super slick and the cord doesn't Stay in the bent position so many of them do. I love these needles. Worth every penny. Thank you again for this!!

[@FiberSpider]

+kaberle7 you are so very welcome! I love the simplicity of the pattern, and the shape is great for a skinnier shawl that can be used more as a scarf. Versatility is a wonderous thing, no? Actually, I use those bamboo needles only because they are double pointed needles (dpns), which makes their length ideal for close up filming purposes. If you are looking for a great set of needles, my FAVORITES are Addi Turbos! They are super slick, nickel plated I think, and are so smooth/quick to work with! Thank you so much four your lovely feedback and please stat tuned in for more! I have loads of videos still to come over time! Keep stitching! 🙂
