I finished my shawl. I made it with three skeins of Lion Brand Homespun and it turned out thick, warm, and very pretty. Thanks again for this easy pattern.
So fun!!! Hmmm. Once I finish the two projects otn, that might be a good next one.
What's one more?
Thank you so much 🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
Happy Knitting!
Thank you, Barbara, for helping this knitting beginner! I’m coming from Crochet. So far, I’ve only knit a couple of dishcloths…. I might be able to attempt this shawl/scarf. I have some lovely yarn and I’m excited to try! 🧶🌻 Carola on Morro Bay 🐳
You can do it!
Thanks again ❤
You're welcome 😊
I've been looking for a shawl pattern for my bff who's getting married in October outdoors in a sleeveless dress so this is PERFECT
That is awesome!
Magz, felicidades a tu amiga.
Que quede hermoso ese chal y lo guarde eternamente, hazlo con lindos calados👌👍❤️❤️
I made a scarf out of DK yarn which is thinner than any yarn I’ve used before. The shawl is a lace shawl. I’m used to weaving in ends when making thick sweaters as there’s a lot of places to hide the ends! How would you weave in ends on a lace shawl! That shawl you demonstrated today was nice and easy for new knitters! Thank you for your videos!
I think I need to make a video on weaving in ends on lace, this question comes up a good bit.
When my mom taught me to knit when I was six (decades ago, LOL) I learned to use my thumb to cast on. Essentially knitting each stitch off of your thumb instead of asecond needle. I still use this c/o because it seems less fiddly than the c/o you demonstrated. Just my personal preference. Do you ever c/o with your thumb? BTW the crescent shawl is my go to, I like to add some texture or lacy stitches in the mix. Enjoy your channel
The thumb cast on definitely works, but I do not find it my best choice for many situations. It isn't a particularly stable cast on and it is a challenge to properly manage the tension on it. But if it's what you like and is your go to then more power to you!
Awesome! Couldn’t be easier. Can’t wait to try it. I was gifted a skein of Lion Brand Summer Nights that I didn’t know what to do with. Is that enough for this shawl?
I looked it up and that is 437 yards of fingering weight yarn so it would make a small-ish shawl just fine. It is an acrylic yarn so if you want to block it you would have to steam heat block.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit Thank you for your help. One more question: can I combine the Summer Nights (acrylic) with the same weight Red Heart Croquette (92% cotton 5% polyester). I have it in the same colorway. Thank you for again.
Hi Barbara Have you knitted the Peach color Shawl on the cover of the magazine on your top shelve behind you it is gorgeous.I just love love your tutorial so clear o understand and so much fun. Thanks a lot.
LOL! Actually yes. I knit that shawl because that is the cover of my book Big Yarn, Beautiful Lace Knits. amzn.to/3VWweh4 (affiliate link)
I like shawls that sit on your shoulders and stay there. I have a couple shawls that are that way and I’m not really sure what makes them stay there. I use fingering mostly, but my fav one that sits on my shoulders is made of alpaca/cotton DK knit in a lace pattern. I added an extra 4” bcos I had the yarn, and the tails still don’t get too long, as I hate long tails.
LOL, long tails are my favorite so most of my patterns have them. To each their own! I think I replied to you on a different video with my thoughts on staying on the shoulder.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit I should clarify that I don’t like short tails, either, just mid sized tails. Ha. If they are down to your knees, then they stretch out the shawl. Thanks for the comment.
Many thanks for showing that both Continental and English versions can be done in the same project. With one of my projects, I was knitting in English and during the project switched to Continental. In the following row, the stitches were all turned around. For each stitch on the left needle, I had to remove from needle, turn the stitch and replace it on the needle and then knit the new stitch. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong.
So there are two probable culprits for that. One, you are knitting through the wrong leg of the stitch (the back leg instead of the front). If not that then you are most likely wrapping your yarn around your needle backwards. You always want to wrap your yarn counterclockwise around the needle, from left to right.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit ohhh eres seca!!!, Es decir increíble, fantástica, brutal, generosa, buena onda.. ufff y todo. También me ayudas mucho. Y no me voy al minuto x, te escucho todo y luego busco otro video. Das tanta información que es muy grato seguirte. Bye....un abrazote...
Estoy empezando mi media luna con un ovillo que cambia 3 o 4 colores. Tendrán que ser 2 ovillos. Jijij...💪💪🌸🌼🌸
Cuando es tu cumpleaños? Para saludarte...🎂👏👏🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🌟
🇧🇷💕🌷💥LINDO OBRIGADA 😘
Thank you!
Hi Barbara, love your tutorials!! I would like to do this shawl without the holes of the yarn overs. Which increase would you recommend to replace the yo's? Would it be the same for both or would the beginning yo be different than the ending? Thank you in advance ❤
The easiest way to get rid of the holes would be to knit all of the yarn overs through the back loop when you come to them. So essentially it would change the row to k2, YO, k1tbl, knit to last 3 sts, k1tbl, YO, k1, s1-wyif. That way you get the ease of increasing with a YO without the holes.
Another way to do it would be to replace the YO increase with an increase that doesn't leave a hole, like make 1. For this I would do m1R on the leading edge and m1L at the end of the row.

Thank you so much for this tutorial/pattern. I am attending the Renaissance Festival this weekend, and am dressing in a Steam Punk costume for a change of pace, and wanted something simple to knit up that I could use as part of a Victorian look and this will work wonderfully! Also, out of curiosity, what brand are the needles you use? Thanks!
I bet your costume looked great! I use Knitter's Pride Zings for most of my tutorial videos because the colors on the tips help provide contrast. Also, I just like them LOL.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit Thank you so much for your response!
If you want to add a line of lace. Would you work a so many knits stitches then yarn over then knit and repeat tell the end
I'm afraid it's not as easy as that. A YO is an increase so for every increase you need a decrease or it will change the stitch count. Most of the time an eyelet row is yo, k2tog repeated across.
Morning, thank you for the video. Much more comfortable with written patterns. What is the name of this pattern. Trying to find on your website. Thank you
It isn’t a written pattern I’m afraid.
TINY SHAWL…YIPPEE!!!
They're so fun right?
Hi! Great instructions! I am a beginner and I would like to make a shawl like that for my daughter but, we don’t like garter stitch. Can I make this in stockinette? With a garter stitch border so it doesn’t curl up?
You would have to modify the instructions and it would no longer be a one line pattern, but yes, you can use this shaping for other stitches!
@@WatchBarbaraKnit hmmm, better not, thank you!!
Barbara does it makes any different whether you use this cast on vs: long tail cast on?😊 what do you call these type of cast on? Thanks
Since this video is aimed at beginners I chose a super easy cast-on. It is called the cable cast on and lets you avoid messing about with the long tail. If you are more comfortable with the long tail totally use that one.
Thanks ever so quick responding much appreciated👍😘
Hi Barbara! I am concerned about making mistake ant not being able to fix it!
Well, the only way to learn to fix mistakes is to make them.
Wish I knew the secret to make a crescent shawl that was long enough in the back(not a shawlette), but without tails that hang to my knees! So, is it the way you increase the edges? Would short rows give it some depth without adding to the length, but then you can’t to stripes. I thought u may have done a video on this before.
Yes, short rows would be the answer to achieve a deep crescent but you are also right that it would cause problems with stripes unless you also got into intarsia. Unfortunately I have very little experience with short rows (I just don't like doing them) so I can't be of further assistance. You might want to look at the Color Affection shawl to see how that designer used short rows and stripes in a crescent shape.
Is the needle you are using is Knitter’s Pride zing interchangeable circular needle?
Good eye! Indeed they are.
Great be waiting for your tutorial of refining the weight of yarn. Thanks
Hola Barbara, me gustan tus videos, pero podrías la próxima, activar los subtítulos en español ? No es posible activarlos por mi,parte si tú no lo has activado al momento de la grabación. ,,,,,,!
La única opción que tengo es inglés. Si trato de "agregar español", me pide que proporcione un guión en español, que no tengo. ¿No puede seleccionar "traducir automáticamente" y luego seleccionar español en la configuración?
Acabo de probarlo en este video y funcionó para mí. Primero debe activar CC y luego hacer clic en la pequeña rueda de configuración y elegir la traducción automática. Al menos eso es lo que funcionó para mí.
No hay una configuración que pueda seleccionar que haga eso cuando estoy cargando.
Disculpe cualquier error de redacción, he usado el traductor de Google para escribir esto.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit pero está correcto😉👌...agradezco todas las molestias que te tomas. Eres muy amable. Very nice!!
I have tons of yarn many are from dyer have no label. How can I identify what weight is it? Initials I though I can count the statin
stren but I was wrong . Please help. Thanks 😅
Your best bet would be to use a Wraps per Inch (WPI) tool to determine mystery yarn weight. I haven't made a video on that yet but now I think I should.
I want to knit this with an acrylic yarn, so I'll need to steam block the finished product. Is your padding shown at 18:04 steam proof? Are they the foam blocks that you use for exercise or are they special blocks?
The ones you see in the video are specifically made for knitting, but I also use bigger ones that were intended to be play floor in a child's space. I've never had a problem but if you are concerned you could put towels over the mats to protect them.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit Thank you very much.
What size of needle do you use for fingering yarn? When I look at your Lacey Crescentt it looks like a larger needle. My lacey tend to be smaller open holes I often use a 4mm or 3mm .Thanks
To get the drape I like for a shawl I typically use a US size 5 or 6 with fingering weight yarn. But it depends entirely on your tension. Just do some swatches until you find a fabric you like. And remember that the drape will change if/when you block the fabric.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit Much thanks for your quick respond. I learn so much from you.
👍❤️🧶I have been wanting to knit a crescent shaped shawl. It cannot get any easier than this , thank you
You are so welcome!
Wondering if anyone knows whether adding eyelet rows would take more or less yarn than stockinette or garter. By eyelet I mean,
WS: K
RS: “Ktog, yo “. Repeat
WS: K.
I have limited yardage and wanted to design my own shawl.
It will use slightly less yarn, but not significantly less.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit Thank u so much. It is time I just wing it and see what I can come up with.
Have enjoyed your channel for quite some time. One question regarding the last stitch on the row. Sl 1 wyif. Is the stitch slipped knitwise or purlwise? I believe that I saw you slip it purlwise. This question is to verify if I saw correctly and to help others understand this step of your instructions.
Continue with your information, instructions and fun things like the 5 favorites.
I'm pretty sure I said purlwise at least once but sorry I didn't make it clear. Yes, purlwise!
@@WatchBarbaraKnit yes you did say purlwise 🙂
You're trying to do flicking with your right hand. Watch Very Pink Knits to see how she does it. I'm useless at tensioning the yarn around my hand so I just hold it between my thumb and first finger. Then I wrap it around the needle - English thrower.
I have tried so very many different ways and watched so many videos ... nothing feels anything but awkward LOL.
I see that Will Riker is really enjoying his shawl.🤣❤
He rocks it, does he not?
Hi, Barbara. I can’t find a printed pattern for this shawl on any of your listed sites. Perhaps it’s too simple for a written pattern? I’m just getting ready to give it a try…. 🧶🙏
Your guess was right, this one was just too simple to write a printed pattern for. Hopefully you can follow it from the video.
