How to Knit an EASY Triangle Shawl | BEGINNER Knitting Tutorial

Thanks for your video. It helped a lot, but the written instructions at the bottom of each section didn’t match what you were teaching. Especially Row 3

While you say the YO right, in your text in video you write down only one YO. Is there a reason?

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! ❤

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!!!

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

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!

Thanks so much for both of these patterns

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

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

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

can you do this on stockinette?

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!!

Hace que la transcrpción se dé en español, por favor.

I’ve knitted my first shawl! Thanks!!

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

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

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

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

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 ❤

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.

Very confusing to see the wool held in the left hand.

I am trying this starting tomorrow!

Thank you so much for this lovely pattern!

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?

Thank you for sharing so nicely!

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?

I don't understand how you end up with 313 stitches. Shouldn't you end up with 315 stitches? I just want to make sure I am doing correctly.

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

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

Thank you

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.

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

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

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.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

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.

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😍

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

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. 😊

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.

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.🧶

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 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.

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'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!

This I made for myself 😀

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

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!

I've been knitting for over 50 years.. and I have never been so confounded by a pattern like this.The set up row with YO and PM at the same time, leaves me with the wrong count of stitches(not 7) and out of whack row after setup row.. I'm laughing at myself here.. What am I doing wrong?
