👉In this step by step guide, i'll walk you through each stage of creating this beautiful slip stitch shawl pattern. From the first five sts cast on through each section of the pattern. Initially I will work in real time so you can knit a long with me, creating the start of the shawl and becoming familiar with the increases, kfbf, and decreases, k2tog, used to shape this asymmetrical triangular shawl, and making sure you have the right stitch count!
Next we'll work on the simple 12 row repeat and I'll show you how to bring in your new yarn, how to carry your yarns up the side of your work and create your tidiest slipped stitches. Next well transition between the two colours and work the rest of the shawl, finishing with a few rows of garter stitch and an i-cord bind off. Finally I will show you how I sew in my yarn tails.
If you are working along with me you can use the settings to slow down or speed up the video or jump to key points in the video tutorial using the timestamps at the bottom of the description for a quick view of every action.
