This
shawl loom knitting pattern is great if you're looking for a cozy shawl
to keep warm. It can be made with any type of yarn, although its
important to ensure at least two of the four yarns used are lighter,
such as mohair to ensure the garment won't be too heavy.
Pre-requisites:
- Size 17 needles
- Four different yarns.
- Gauge 2 sts per inch in garter stitch.
Instructions:
CO 26" worth of stitches and knit in garter stitch until overall piece
measures 30" long.
Put a safety pin or piece of contrasting yarn on the right side of the
work. Now you will short-row to create the point and turn the corner as
follows:
Knit to within one stitch at end or row, turn and knit back.
Knit to within two stitches at end of row, turn and knit back.
Knit to within three stitches at end of row, turn and knit back.
Continue
knitting one stitch less each right side row until no stitches are
left. Just leave the unworked stitches on the needle as you go. This
method will result in a line of decorative holes on either side of the
"triangle".
End having just worked a wrong side row.
Now do the opposite and knit one stitch more each right side row, turn
and knit back, until all the stitches are worked. Then knit straight
for 30 inches or the same number of rows (ridges) as you did for the
first end.
Bind off loosely, darn in ends to finish.
The short row section will turn the corner, causing the second straight
section to be at right angles to the first, and the finished piece will
look like a big "V".
And voila! You should now have a cozy, cuddly shawl that's sure to be
the envy of your friends on those long, cold winter nights.
Give this shawl loom knitting pattern a go - be patient, and good luck!
