We love shawls here! When new knitters think of shawls, they often think of a supersized project with such intricate lacework that it seems impossible. What is a shawl? The word shawl is sometimes used interchangeably with scarf, stole or wrap, but they tend to be simple rectangles. When we say shawl, we mean shaped accessories that hug your shoulders. Why we love them! A sweet little shawlette can be worn like a scarf or neatly draped across your shoulders, while a stunning lacework shawl looks fabulous paired with your favourite frock for a special occasion.
There are so many design possibilities with shawls, too, and not just in terms of basic shape. You can use an all-over lace pattern to make a bold statement or go for the less is more approach, like LK designer Julie Ferguson has done in this beautiful shawl.
Play around with colour and experiment with the effects of self-patterning yarn. Click here to download the pattern for free! The needles Even though shawls are usually worked rows, you will probably require a circular needle. Simply treat one tip as your left needle and the other tip as the right needle and knit as normal, turning the work at the end of each row.
The construction When you look at a triangular-based shawl, the cast-on row sits in the centre of the top edge. You begin with just a few cast-on stitches then work from the top down and use increases to create the shape.
These increases often sit at the outer edges and on either side of the centre, making the fabric fan out to eventually create your top edge. Manage consent.

Super Bulky approx 2 sts per inch, approx — yards. You'll also need to know what needle size the label suggests. If you're not sure what to look for please refer to my yarn label page. Besides the Baby Sport weight yarn I used, other yarn sizes you can use include:. Find the yarn size on your yarn label, then choose the suggested needle size and cast on the amount of sts your yarn comes closest too down below.
Repeat rows 1 — 12 for pattern until work measures approx. Finish by knitting 20 rows of Garter stitch. Do you want to include pockets? Knit 2 pockets. The pockets are approximately 10 inches wide and 6 inches long.
After casting on the amount of stitches you need for your pockets and yarn size, knit garter stitch for about 6 inches or length you want. Bind off loosely.
You will need contrasting waste yarn and tapestry needle. With your tapestry needle simply baste into the fabric weaving into every other stitch all the way around where you want the pocket to be. What you're doing is marking where you need to sew the pocket.
Now you can sew the pocket on more easily and it will be straight. I hope you enjoy this knit shawl pattern. Now you can snuggle up with a nice cup of hot chocolate and enjoy!
