"This statement is exaggerated as this site has many patterns indicating specific yarn. Besides, with some experience knitters usually have enough knowledge of yarns, so an indication of yarn weight will suffice."
Lisa
"After you have cast off the stitches as instructed, you would have to move and reattach the yarn to continued with the pattern, this is not a "very easy" pattern, it is easy but not a beginner pattern."
Lisa
"The problem is not with the pattern, your great-grandson either has a larger head or longer neck, but is easily customized by lengthening the hood to customize it for him, instead of going to 8 1/2 " before the shaping you would knit to 10 or possibly 12" then start the shaping."
Lisa
"The instructions are quite clear, it is a pullover, that's why all the neck shaping instructions are there, no zipper, if a zipper was required it would be in the materials list."
Lisa
"None of the stitches are used for the hood, the hood is made separately, all of the instructions for the front are shown in the pattern, including the 10 stitch cast off you mentioned in your comment. Maybe it wasn't there when you left your comment, but it is all there now."

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.
