I did it! Nancy, you said I could, and I did! I have been crocheting for about ten years and during Covid, I decided to to learn to knit. After many tries, I gave up, but a few weeks ago, I thought I would try just one more time. I found this video and it inspired me, especially because you said YOU CAN DO THIS! I went to my LYS and found some beautiful, speckled wool yarn in the half-price bin and picked up my needles and jumped in. I didn't understand at the beginning where we were going with the stitches--it sure didn't LOOK like a triangle! But after ripping it out several times, I decided to keep going, despite mistakes. Guess what? I finished my shawl! I wet-blocked it, and have worn it several times this week. I love it and have received many compliments on it. I am working on a second shawl using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in a lovely purple color and plan to make the corner-to-corner baby blanket I saw on your channel next. THANK YOU, Nancy, for your encouragement and believing in us!

Hi! I'm 17, and I'm the only one in my family who can knit. I learned by following instructions in a book when I was 13 and was never able to do more than a pearl stitch. I hope that, by watching your videos and subscribing, you can help teach me more, and I wanted to thank you for the extremely detailed information your video provided to help me start this project. 😊

I recently used this pattern to make a shawl and wanted to say that it turned out beautiful! The triangle shape looks incredible, and got many compliments😍

I love your video tutorials Nancy! I’m almost done making this shawl in a Navy Ombré color as well as the Wavy baby blanket for a pregnant friend. Thank for leaving out the 10min descriptions of how to cast on and knot stitch and just just getting right to it….I usually have fast forward videos just to get to the actual pattern. Anything tutorials you post I am sure to make.🧶

This is wonderful! I bought a few single skeins of mandala with no project in mind, I just liked the colours. So happy I found this tutorial! Looks like I’m getting some Christmas gifts done super early this year :)

This is just what I’ve been looking for! Thank you so much!

This was concise and helpful! thank you for not droning on like some youtubers.

Omg!!!! It works!!!! It's so easy and fast. I've done 10 rows. I love it. Ty very much! I've always had a hard time knitting. 😍😍😍😍

Just a tip if some people still get confused about if they're on a row with increases or not, I personally use two stitch markers of two different colors. I personally like green on the knit row (as in "Go, it's safe to just go and not think," lol). This way, when you get close to the center stitch, you come up on your green marker and can just knit right on through, without finding the beginning of the row (sometimes hard, especially late in the project, when the stitches are bunched up). If you come across the other color, the caution color, you know, "Hey, take it slow, you're increasing. Did you increase before the center stitch? Double check!" And then of course at the end of the row, you know it'll be a "Go," row when you turn it, which lets you know that THIS row you're still knitting is an increase row. I've made shawls for my future mother-in-law and my future grandmother-in-law. I'm working on another for the future grandmother-in-law on the other side of the family, another one for my future-mother-in-law, and one for a friend. I love this pattern!!! It is a little difficult at the beginning; half the time I have to start over because I miss something. But once I make it to about row 12, I'm good to go and can just FLY with it. I personally prefer having three stitches along the top at the border, or even four if it's a small gauge yarn, and I slip the first stitch to make a selvedge edge, which feels neater, but this is my go-to by FAR. I really appreciate the tutorial; I still watch it every time I set up, just to get through those harrowing first 12 rows.

New knitter here, great tutorial and written directions. I just starting knitting this shawl. Thanks

I’m so excited to have found you & your videos! I have just ordered some of this yarn and the appropriate needles. Can’t wait to get started ❤

Nancy, you are by far the most wonderful experienced knitter! This shawl is lovely, the borders are different and I can't help butt really learn how to make this shawl-even my sister took some notes and she REALLY TAUGHT ME WELL....! Thank you very much for your lovely encouraging video! I am going to enjoy making this beautiful shawl!

I have been looking for this a long time. Tks so much for your easy to follow tutorial, Nancy. Hello from Malaysia! 😚

Thank you for your help. My friend recommended this video, so happy she did..... I will be looking at some more when I'm done with this shawl.

So easy! Thank you for sharing this with us.

I’ve knitted my first shawl! Thanks!!

Late to the party but thank you for this! It took a little bit for me to get used to the stitch markers but it's so easy now that I have the hang of it. I've been binge watching your knitting videos all weekend!

Thank you so much for this lovely pattern!

Wow that was so simple, easy and straightforward!!! I'm working on socks for the first time but this will be my next project.

that's tutorial I've been looking for . Great explained. For sure I will dive deeper in your channel

Thank you for sharing so nicely!

This is an awesome way to use up your yarn scraps also.

Excellent, thank you so much...well presented and now to see if I can make it following the PDF. You are a 🌟

I am definitely trying this. Thank you ❤️

i remember my mom teaching me to knit and i absolutely loved it. i made lots of rectangular winter scarves lol unfortunately, i stopped for a long time and can hardly remember how to knit ( i only remember the basics) and for whatever reason, crochet is more popular. thanks for sharing this great and helpful video of a KNITTED shawl!!

Thanks so much for both of these patterns

I used you how to knit left handed video to help me learn and this is going to be my first attempt and knitting something. I can crochet but never got knitting when I was younger purely as it just was too confusing as a leftie, can't wait to see how it turns out

You are an excellent teacher, thank you

I am trying this starting tomorrow!

Thank you your video is so easy to follow even I can do it.

I just want to say that I really appreciate your video on how to start this beautiful shawl! I asked in the past that can a shawl be made from 1 cake of Mandala yarn, and this video eventually answered my question! And I am working on 2 of these shawls, using Mandala yarn cakes! Thank you Nancy for making it easy for me and my sister!! Correction: there is a Wool Ease yarn that I'm making the second shawl with...by Lion Brand.

Thanks so much for this tutorial! Am going to make a swaddling shawl for my daughter who is due in 2 weeks. Hope I get it done in time! 🤞🏻

Thank you great love it

You make it easy. thank you.

Thanks again🌸🌼🌹

Thank you for this video. I have watched other people making this shawl . And I could never figure it out how they made it. But after watching your video I think I understand how to do it. I’m going to try to make the shawl Who am I mom what Christmas. I think she is going to love it.

Lovely

Hermoso 🌷

Thank you!

I love the chal thanks for you time 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you!!

Absolutely Love This Video...Such Clear Instrutions, I've Wanted to Make A Shawl for What Seems Forever, Was Too intimidated by the Size.... I've Downloaded the Pattern "Thank You" So Much...I've Ordered Some Baby Alpaca to Make It 🧡

Thank you! ❤

Thank you

Thank you so much for this... I literally just started trying to learn to knit about 2 months ago and you make this look “do-able”!! ❤️❤️

Nice knitting. I knitted in my colour with cotton thread.

I've used this pattern to make two shawls now. I tried a different pattern first, a bottom up pattern, but I messed up terribly because I didn't realize I needed to stop at a certain point, make two more of what I'd already made, and stitch them together. This pattern was much easier and I even like the look better. While it can be frustrating to take over half an hour to knit ONE ROW (something my family and friends -none of whom knt- cannot believe), the simplicity makes it doable and bearable. I'm currently making a shawl from the Mantra colorway in the Lion Brand Mandala Ombre collection for my future mother-in-law as a present for helping me recover from surgery (she's a nurse, and was able to spare me my doctor father needing to be all up in my business), and after that I'm lining up one for my future grandmother-in-law, who very much feels the cold. I was able to work up to 250 stitches per row within a week, and did about 1/5 of that while actually visiting my FMIL, so she could see the process and progress. The yarn I picked matches the decor of her new condo perfectly! 😊 I'm also teaching her to knit, so showing her how to increase was fun. She was very anxious about it, and when she saw how simple it was, she couldn't believe it! One little tip for anyone who doesn't like having to find the beginning of the row to remember if its an increase row or not (I start forgetting, when each row takes so long), is that I use one teal and one pink needle tip protector, matching the two stitch marker colors I use. I'll put the pink tip protector closer to me on increase rows (as those rows have the pink stitch marker after a few stitches), blue for rows that I knit through. At a glance it reminds me, "hey, yeah, this IS an increase row," without me having to fumble around and unbunch the shawl and find the end I've already worked. It's a small thing, but I like it. If I was using normal needles, I'd just have a hair thing wrapped around the very far end of one needle and know that if I'm working with that needle, it's an increase row, but I had to switch it up for circulars! Thanks for the awesome video. I'm hoping to branch out to other patterns at some point, but I really enjoy this pattern and think I'll stick with it until after Christmas. Then it'll be time for three baby blankets before I can return to shawls! Stay wonderful!

Great video

This I made for myself 😀

I am Shawna from Idaho, not new to knitting just new to knitting shawls

Salve mi piace molto il suo scialle..è meraviglioso. Grazie.

Thanks I am a new knitter

Lo sto provando anche io!!♡ Spero di riuscire.

What size needles did you use? Thank you for this video!!!

Finally some continental 😅 its much more easy to lear for a crecheteer

Such a lovely shawl. Any ideas about how to make this shawl as if beginning from the golden color so that there is a divot at the part of the shawl that would kind of double up at the wearer's neck?

Could you make this into a blanket. I love it x

Jiust lovely to discover your channel deep into Lockdown! Have watched another of your videos and am hooked and subscribed.I’m wondering if I knit two of these shawls and mattress stitched the long ends together leaving a hole for a head, could I make a poncho do you think?

I am new to knitting and the increase stitch so thank you for a clear video on how to do it . How do I know when I have gotten to the end? Did I miss how many rows to knit or does it naturally form the triangle?

Thank you very much. I have just found out, I did something wrong, and so it is nice to see, how it shall be made. I want to find the same yarn in Denmark. I couldn't find the yarn in Denmark - here is a warning, if you order this yarn in USA you will have to pay a fee of 198 DKK which far exceeds the value of the yarn. Take this into consideration. Sorry USA this is not your fault, its just danish regulations, made for stopping trade with WISH in China. I still look forward to receiving this yarn after all.

Aww I was finally getting it then I followed the on screen instructions for row 3 and pressed play and realized it’s missing many of the yarn overs.

So, since the pattern states to end on row 3 (before bind off) does that mean we complete the row 3 again and then bind off using the stitches including the YO?

I use Portuguese knitting style it should work for purling all instead of knitting right?

The only circular needles I could find was a size 29". They had them smaller but I couldn't find any larger. I hope they work. Novice.

Do you do requests? If so, can you please do a hood with bear ears? also great video!

Can you make video on how to incorporate the knitting pattern, Thank you for sharing, very helpful info. 🌼🌺🌸

This looks very easy I had to stop it many times to write it down. Is there a copy some where I could print?

The instructions for Row 3 shown at the bottom of the screen is missing a yo after the knit 1 in the middle.

I want to convert this to stockinette with an edge, which I totally understand. My issue was that the sides grew more than the center giving it a batwing appearance. Is that due to my edging?

I'm wondering if there might be a way to add length to the edges so that it could wrap around and tie in the back, similar to a Little Women triangle shawl situation. Does anyone have any suggestions for that?

is that right knit to maskmarker increase move the marker knit to the next marker increase move mrker 4 times increases

Can I use a bulky 5 yarn and corresponding needles with this pattern? Thanks!

Hi, I hope you see this message. How do you continue doing this without it getting hard to work on two needles? Or do you recommend to use the ones with the string ? I love this so much. Thank you for sharing 🙂

I'm looking to make a triangle shawl inspired by the one Claire wears on Outlander. If you happen to know that shawl, would you say that it is larger than this triangle? I'm thinking I will use a solid color (the one in the show is brown) and will use more than one skein if necessary, to achieve the effect. Thoughts? ( If you know the show. )😁

Is there a way to make the sides wider so that it's easier to wrap around you without it being so long/ big? Like increasing the sides? I'm a beginner so I don't really know how to improvise like that. Thank you for your practical easy to follow knitting tutorials!! :)

I am guessing it will, but do you think it will look good in a single color? Thinking of knitting it in Patons Grace, color citadel.

I would love to knit this? Would it work with a thick yarn?

I am making the triangle shawl in this video. I am an experienced knitter, but still have questions. I am using the #5 40inch circular needle. I have 260 stitches on the needle already, and still have more yarn to knit. Did you find it difficult when you made your shawl with 313 stitches total?

I feel like my needles won't be long enough for the shawl but I'm using 40 inch. Should I just bunch the stitches together and keep going to make more room?

I think that row three in the written (on screen) directions has omitted the second YO...

can you do this on stockinette?

I was wondering, you said you are using a size 5 circular needle. Is this American sizing? I am in Canada and wondering if this is a metric 5 mm or 3.75 mm (the 3.75 mm is equivalent to the American 5. Thanks.

This video is great, thank you! I got a cake of Mandala yarn for Christmas and I was looking for a 1 skein project for it that wasn’t just the same old scarf I always make (I’m a newer knitter). Found a similar pattern on the Lion Brand website but was confused by it. This video helped tremendously! However, how does the yarn stripe so consistently? I’m actually really confused by this but I’ve seen multiple pictures of nicely striped projects from these Mandala yarns.

I can´t find where I get the pattern on the website. Where can I sign up to get it?

I get confused without a written pattern can you post a PDF of the setup and pattern rows?

So..I’m trying this pattern but row 3 is not coming out right. I’ve tried numerous times I keep coming up one stitch short. It seems like there isn’t enough stitches to do the last two sets of K2. You have 7 stitches for row 2 but then in row 3 it has you knitting a total of 8 stitches. What am I missing? Thank you.

Does it matter if the yo is done before or after the marker?

Are the written instructions for row 3 correct? I only see 1 YO.

I've started this pattern over several times. How does your small sample not have so many holes from all the YO's? Am I doing something wrong? This is my 1st pattern with YO so probably lol

I have no stitch markers Actually I have never heard of thenCould I just tie a fragment of yarn round the needle loosely? Thank you

I don't understand how your top edge came out flat? I followed a tutorial from Nimble Needles to make a shawl just like this one, but the top edge still comes to a slight point and folds over when I put it on.

How can any circular needle hold all the stitches?

Does knitting the yarn over increas the stitches? Xx

I have tried and tried but I feel so discouraged I keep messing up on the yarn overs or something :( Ive chrocheted for 20 years but this knitting of this shawl I just cant do :( Im an english nitter. could this be my problem? I just seem to be doing something wrong

Can this be made with straight needles? Ugh I’m having trouble finding a tutorial for straight needles 😢

Are the number of stitches the same each side. i.e 2sts ******1st ****** 2sts?

so i really know nothing aboutknitting... how do you do those first 5?

Is this pattern still available?

Can you put the finished size of this shawl?

Hi! What K1 or K2 means? I’m from Colombia and want to learn all the knitting language in English hahaha, but I cannot figure out what does the k1 or k2 means!! 😢 thank you!!!
