Step by Step: Learn How to Knit this Easy, Beginner Level, 2-in-1 Beachy Cover Up - Shifting Sands!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Hey, my lil' buttercup! I hope you're having a spectacular day and are feeling oh-so very fine! Today, I have a super fun, beaded, knitting pattern to share with you! Shifting Sands is a delightfully draping cover up or poncho that can be worn in one of two ways, depending on how you style and seam it! This Adventurous Beginner level knit pattern is perfect as a summer cover up or just for layering and lounging around the house.
Download Shifting Sands at www.expression...
Shifting Sands was designed to be a lovely, flowing wrap to wear on all your beachy adventures. The pattern includes a simple eight-row repeat and can be customized to fit your body. The wrap features beads and drop stitches for additional interest.
If you're ready to cast on, grab your yarn and needles, and then follow along as I demonstrate everything you need to know to make your own Shifting Sands! In this video, I make a miniature version and demonstrate the Garter Stitch borders, the individual row instructions, how to add beads and drop stitches, as well as how to seam the finished pieces together.
Shifting Sands uses our Luster Sport yarn, which is a fantastic choice for this summery design. Luster Sport is a soft and silky blend of 50% Lyocell and 50% Superwash Merino Wool and is a beautifully shimmering and soft, sport weight yarn with a squish factor that is sure to please!
The sample shown here was made with our Coastal Hues kit, but you can use any sport weight yarn in any colors that you desire. Our sample used approximately 1052 yards (962 m) total: Color A: 352 yards (322 m),
and Color B-Color E: 140 yards (128 m) each color. The pattern is customizable, but may require additional yardage.

Our colors come and go quickly, so be sure to purchase all you will need for your project.

Thank you Chandi! I love watching your videos on Fridays, it helps me start my weekend with inspiration. This design is gorgeous. Mil gracias bella Chandi!
You are so welcome! I'm happy you love it!
Wow what a beautiful shawl. I love how you do the drop stitches. Thank you for making this look so easy. Your tutorial are so easy to follow.
You are so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love it! I can see it in a pink gradient too for Spring. 🌸
Yes, that would be pretty! Thank you!
I love that you used crochet to seam and edge the neckline. Maybe because I learned to crochet before I learned to knit, but I find a crochet hook is sometimes the right tool to use in my knitting projects. Can’t wait to make this - it’s GORGEOUS! Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Have fun!
I love how open and airy this is, perfect for warmer weather. So beautiful. Thank you!
Glad you like it! Enjoy 💕

Thanks so much! We have playlists for both Beginning Knitting and Crocheting if you'd like to learn.
so beautiful, cant wait to try it . I'm going to have a hard time "dropping stitches" LOL
Thank you. You can do it! It's scary at first but you'll get used to it quickly, I promise 😉
Great video and beautiful pattern, yarn ordered too thank you! 💗🌸
You are so welcome! And thank you for your support!
Thank you 😌🙏🏽🌻🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
Love it! 🏝❤💃
Thanks so much!
Beautiful🙏❣🙃
Thanks so much!
Who chose the music for this video? It's soooooo nice and such a change from so many other videos that play nerve-wracking noise. I am about to start this project and think I must have this style playing in the background, it's so soothing and doesn't distract from your excellent instructions. Thanks for conveying a relaxed ambiance because that's what we need when concentrating on such an interesting project! :) xx
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. My husband Tim edits and creates all of the videos, including adding the music, which he selects from a bunch of royalty free sources.
Beautiful 🌞🐘🍁🇨🇦💚
Thank you! 😊
Would love this ..but in crochet directions
Thanks for the feedback. You might like our Shimmering Shells crochet coverup: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/shimmering-shells.html
Wow, this is stunning. Oh boy, though, I had a real panic moment watching you drop those stitches. Had some flashbacks of unintentional ones haha It creates such a beautiful look, though! Thanks for another great tutorial. I'm already seeing some of the techniques coming in handy in a couple other projects I have on my list 😃
Glad you enjoyed it and that our tutorials are helpful! Hehe, yes dropping a stitch on purpose can be scary in the beginning but once you've done it successfully it is so much fun! 😉
@@ExpressionFiberArts haha, well I'm glad I'm not alone in finding it scary 😂 Good to know it gets easier!
You have great videos !Such a wonderful shawl !!! Can you do a video with this kind of shawl for crochet ? Please pretty please 🙏
Thank you
Hi Tatiana, I'm glad you like our videos. I can't make any promises about a crochet version of Shifting Sands but we'll do our best. Have you tried our Persephone poncho yet? www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/persephone.html
Have a great week! 💙
Thank you so much for your reply. Persephone will do fine , I think. I will give it a try . Crochet away !!!
Would be very cute in reds, oranges and browns.. for fall I was looking for something to work on .
It definitely would! Have you seen our new Rusted Hues Luster Sport kit: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/rusted-hues-luster-sport-kit.html
Hi Chandi I have to say I love the work you do and I have purchased a few of your patterns. Need to ask if you could do this in crochet as well please it would be so much appreciated.
Hi Shirl, awe, thank you. I can't make any promises but we'll do our best. Have you tried our Persephone poncho yet? www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/persephone.html
Have a wonderful day! 💙
Me encanta Gracias 🤩
You're so welcome!
Absolutely stunning!!! Yarn is beautiful!! Unfortunately I don’t knit and it’s not because I haven’t tried!! I crochet and hope you don’t mind me asking, do you have a similar tutorial in crochet?
I'm very happy you like it. We don't have this exact design in a crochet version, but you might like one of these crochet ponchos instead: expressionfiberarts.com/categories/patterns.html?_bc_fsnf=1&Craft=Crochet&Project+Type=Ponchos
It took me several tries to learn to knit and boy I would get so frustrated when it wouldn't work. Then I would panic about dropped stitches. It's hard to imagine it now because I use to only crochet, but now I knit everything. All I wanted to say was don't give up. You will eventually get it and don't be hard on yourself if you try and don't succeed. Give yourself a break and when you're ready try again. If you can crochet you can knit.
@@ExpressionFiberArts Thankyou!!!
@@SweetGumMinis Thankyou for your advice and yes I get very frustrated with not being able to knit, Thankyou for your encouragement to keep trying which I will!!!
Love this, very beautiful. Do you have a Crochet version?
HI MJ, we don't have a crochet version currently. How about our Persephone poncho: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/persephone.html or Shimmering Shells www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/shimmering-shells.html
Have a wonderful week! 💕
I wish you will come up with a crocheted version ..😪
Hi Myra, thank you for your comment. I can't promise that we'll make a crochet version of Shifting Sands but we'll do our best. In the meantime how about our Persephone poncho: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/persephone.html
Have a wonderful week! 💕
Beautiful. 🌏🌷💜🙏🏿🌳
Thank you! 💕
Ohhh can u combine this look with your Saratu crochet pattern? I love the "mistakes or wrong way" style and I would sew up and make into sleeves. What do you say? Can u put a pattern together for me? 😆
I'll see what we can do. 😉
Nicole you could make 2 shorter Sarayu panels and sew them together accordingly for a poncho look.
@@ExpressionFiberArts ok I have some other projects first but I am gonna keep that in mind!! Thank u😀
Спасибо за красоту
You're very welcome!
Could you do a version for crochet? Thanks 🙏🏻
We don't currently have plans for a crochet version, but if there's enough interest in one, we'll definitely consider it!
Awwww this is so cute - any chance you will do a crochet version for those who can't knit? 😁👍
I'm so glad you like it. Right now, we don't have a crochet version in the works, but you might like this design: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/shimmering-shells.html

We have one in the making but there isn't a time line on it yet. 💚

I love this pattern but i have a question i have to drop and pick up my projects numerous times a day how do i know what i left on and what to work next
If you print out your pattern you can mark that spot in your pattern. I hope this works for you! 💕
Beautiful pattern… I noticed you left the marker along with the bead… do you leave the marker with each bead?
Hi Joy, thank you for your comment.
I'm not a 100% sure what you mean by that. Chandi used stitch markers in this video instead of beads since she was using thicker yarn and none of the available beads would have fitted. That's why the stitch markers were left in the work. When you use real beads for your project those will stay in the knitting but any used stitch markers need to be removed before binding off and seaming.
I hope this makes sense. Please, let me know if you have more questions. Have a nice day! 💕
Hi, thanks for the prompt answer.. I thot both the bead and marker were left in😜Have a good day😊
Very nice piece ,what is the number of needless.
Thank you for your question. The samples was made with an US size 7 (4.5mm) needle. Circular needles are recommended to accommodate larger number of stitches.
I hope this answers your question. Have a great day! 💕
