Happy Knitting!
As a true beginner learning to knit a shawl, this video was a total game changer in helping me understand how to create the spine and using markers! Loved the format, too...the music, background, pace, and titles make it a pleasure to watch repeatedly! Haha! Thank you!

Thank you love this and video 🤗
Beautiful❤
Thank you! :)
thank you sooo very much ! Im a new subcriber now
Hello Virginia, thanks so much for subscribing! I hope you enjoy knitting the shawl :)
@@handylittleme yes :) when I get my yarn what kind would be best
@@virginiaroberts4880 Hello, I used Alize Lana Maxi but in the blog post and the pattern info, I give a list of substitutes. You can read that here - www.handylittleme.com/outlander-carolina-shawl-pattern/ I hope that helps!
Hi, love this pattern so mk much. I've decided to try it and I'm a beginner but I learn really quickly. The only thing I don't understand is how you get from 5 stitches to 9. I don't know how to get there just by YO. Any advice is appreciated!
Hello Cass, you are increasing the stitches through a series of yarn overs. The YO creates another stitch. I hope that helps!
I’d love to give this a try.. totally new to knitting (know basic knit and pearl). Where do I find the pattern? It’s just beautiful ♥️
Hello - You can find the shawl pattern here - www.handylittleme.com/outlander-carolina-shawl-pattern/
I love this pattern and bought it, however, I’m probably overthinking it lol. I watched your video and I have a question about the ending. How do you know you have enough number of stitches to change the yarn color? I have been reading your pattern over and over and it says repeat rows 1-2 until you have certain stitches for the size you’re knitting for and then it the yarn a and yarn b is below it. Do I knit all the way and then change colors? 😆thank you!
Hello Afsaneh - yes you knit until it says to in the pattern until you are comfortable with the size, there are a lot of notes on this. Then you can change the color and start the stripe work. I hope that helps! Louise
Thank you very much for this helpful video, may I ask If the pattern works with a 5 mm needle, 30” long, with the suitable yarn? my comment is late, hope you can see it soon.
Hello, you could use a smaller needle size and different weight yarn to that given in the pattern - the results would be similar, but you would need to adjust the sizing/length and also how much yarn you will need. I hope that helps! Louise
Hi, may I know what's the music used?
Do you use the long tail cast on?
Hello Marsha, yes I did.
Is this the Jocasta shawl jamies aint was wearing? I want it
Hello, no this isn't the Jocasta shawl. It is the shawl that Claire is wearing in season 4 - the brown with the black stripes.
sorry, but I would like to know what is K1 in the video. Thanks
Hello Lorena, K1 means to Knit 1 stitch. I hope that helps! Louise
Hi there,
What kind of yarn do I need and knitting needle size. Please help
Hello, you can find out all of the pattern info here - www.handylittleme.com/outlander-carolina-shawl-pattern/
My family crochets, but I was never interested. I fell in love with knitting. The down fall of being the black sheep of the family is I don’t have anyone to ask questions. Could someone please explain to me how the stitches were being made as the pattern went on?
Hello, this shawl is knit in garter stitch, this is a simple knit stitch and you can see how to knit that here - www.handylittleme.com/how-to-knit-the-garter-stitch/ I hope that helps!
I’m confused. This is a shawl knit from the bottom, or the point of the triangle. How do you get the stripes at the bottom if you follow the written pattern, it reverses the pattern in the thumbnail picture, doesn’t it?
Hello Brian, this shawl is knit from the top down, you work the main body of the shawl and then add the stripes in when you are closer to the bottom, by then you will have many stitches on your needles. The pattern works well, many people have made it...so if you start it, you will see how it is going. I hope that helps! Louise
That was my exact question! I was thinking we were working from the point of the triangle but we are working from the top down. Def mind shift ! I am doing this shawl now
Totally confused on the 'top down" references. So the 5 stitches that you begin with are the top? I thought that was the bottom on the back of the shawl.
What size yarn
Hello, bulky/chunky/12 ply yarn.
How long is your cable?
Hello, all of the pattern info including needle/cable size can be found here - www.handylittleme.com/outlander-carolina-shawl-pattern/
I purchased the pdf last night how do I access it ?
Hello Linda, I replied to your email this morning with the PDF attached - can you check your spam folder? Thanks
Thank you I found it. Sorry I’m still learning about websites.
@@lindaorbino1457 Hello Linda, no worries, happy you found the pattern :)
Size of needles? Type of yarm and how many balls please
Hi! You can find out all of that information here - www.handylittleme.com/outlander-carolina-shawl-pattern/
I would need to watch this a dozen times to understand. I know how to knit and pearl. That’s it. Don’t understand this at all. I need it explained to me as if I’ve never heard of knitting before.
Hello, maybe you should start with an easier project like this beginner hat pattern - www.handylittleme.com/how-to-knit-a-hat/ which is an easier step-by-step project for a beginner. I hope that helps! Louise
@@handylittleme thanks for trying. But no. Your videos are clearly meant for people who already have a solid footing in knitting and know how to read patterns. And already know what things are called. I opened the page on how to read patterns, and understood about 50% of what you were saying. I can knit/purl scarves, which are straight lines and I don’t know the terms for things, like what a garter stitch is. I learned to knit in Romania about 20 years ago, but was only able to get someone to teach me the basics. I taught myself purl a few years in. And since I learned in Europe, I learn European style knitting. Which makes it difficult to understand what I’m seeing with American style in UA-cam videos. Clearly I need a live person to teach me and videos and written instructions are not going to do it here. My real problem is you don’t speak in the videos, but write the instructions out. I needs videos that take the time to verbally explain exactly what your doing and what things mean.
@@FiarWalkr I hope you have managed to work it out now..garter stitch is knit stitch.
No end result???
Hi, you can view the end result here - www.handylittleme.com/outlander-carolina-shawl-pattern/
Way too fast; verbal instructions would have been great as I have to watch what I'm doing and can't read text off the screen while I'm trying to watch my stitches. Definitely not beginner friendly (in my case at least). Maybe I'll revisit this once I get more advanced though.
Hello, ok thanks for the feedback, I will add making another video with a voice-over to my list!
You can slow down the video as slow as .25x as you watch it. Click on the gear icon and change the playback time
@@lct7192000 yeah... I'm aware of that...
Thank you for the pattern just for dome other in the future use the different colors for yarn not the same as a needles are.
