"I have been trying to get this pattern correct. I honestly cannot get the blocks to "square" out. i consider myself to be an advanced knitter and i have given up as i have pulled it out so many times. I honestly have no idea how to work out how many stitches i need to have to avoid it being too short and where do i do the increases especially where it pulls in on the sides. i feel so helpless. rating 4 stars because i just love the colour combos and look of it."

"A friend and I both started this pattern. We tested our gauge and it still ran really large. FYI it is very difficult to tink (undo) the knit-one-below stitch when you need to to fix a mistake. Because of that knit-one-below stitch it ends up being more of an intermediate than an easy pattern."
Beverly
"I have printed out the pattern BUT a "pop up" ad prints on the lower right side of the paper covering the directions. Isn't there a download to avoid losing instructions this way? What rating? right now it would be zero"

"You may want to try using a Super Bulky Cotton yarn like Lion Brand Side Dish. Cotton yarn will keep the definition of this pattern better than acrylic will. I havent been able to find an appropriate cotton yarn in Jumbo that would be a good substitute. I hope this helps."

"I have to agree, it is a rather poorly written pattern."

Easy Cranberry Shawl

Easy Cranberry Shawl

"This project is perfect for a novice shawl knitter because it is predominantly garter stitch and will not require much blocking to keep the fabric flat and even. The mirrored, plaited cables on the spine keep the shawl interesting and add a unique touch to the simple, ridged fabric."

This is a very pretty shawl. I thought I was ready to tackle this project but just saw that in the pattern notes it says to use circular needles because of the size. She forgot to list circular needles under the material list and only specified a size 10.5 needle. I will have to hold off until I can buy circular and learn to read the entire pattern before gathering my supplies next time.

The notes are part of the pattern, so it is made quite clear that it is circulars, even before that the pattern specifies it is 51" wingspan, you're not going to get that on straights.

I have not knitted cables in a while so this will be a good project to me. It is not too complicated, will learn to do cables again and I will have something lovely to wear. A win-win. Thank you for the pattern.

I knit prayer shawls and this one is just perfect for that because it's so pretty and will work up fast. I love the cables in the middle that give it some style. This one is a keeper!

I love the look of this shawl, not to mention the size as it gives me the sense that it could be worn as a scarf in the style of the European Dream Scarf, larger but still a two-in-one project and as described, relatively easy to knit. (And my to-knit list gets longer lol)

I'm only a beginner, what does it mean by 3 skeins? Thanks

Lisa

Feb 04, 2016

Skein is the word for balls of yarn, so you need 3 of the specified yarn to complete the shawl.
