Easiest Shawl Pattern. Ever.

Fill-in-the-Blanks Shawl Design: www.laylock.org...
This is a super easy shawl that any beginner can knit! It only has one row: *yo, k to end.
This technique produces a simple bottom-up triangular shawl that has a pretty, loopy edge. It can be knit with any weight yarn but you'll need at least 200yds. As a rough estimate, 250-300gr of DK-weight yarn will give you a shawl that has a wingspan that matches an adults'.
If you don't have enough yarn, why not experiment with what you have. You can make a nice kerchief or dishcloth! :)
You can cast off your shawl whenever you feel it's large enough. To check, slide your stitches onto a long circular needle, or onto a piece of string. If you're happy with the result, bind off using a needle 2-3 sizes larger than the one you used to knit with. Here's a tutorial on binding off knitting: • How to Cast Off Knitting

Just came across this! You're still valued after 10 years! Thanks for this wonderful, easy pattern!

[@stinnett4life]

*Wow! You weren't kidding, this is a super easy shawl - I love it!! For a beginner knitter this is wonderful. Hope to see more of your videos. Thank you! :)*

[@MJKDBAMGram]

Thank you❣️ I’m teaching myself to knit and this is such an easy pattern to follow. It’s encouraging when you’re a beginner and the item you’re making actually comes to life! YAY! Also, I love the color of yarn that you’re using and the background. That’s really why I was drawn to it and your voice is very calming. Your instructions are perfect. 💗

[@c.foughqueue2024]

This is so simple it's ridiculous. I can't understand why anyone would dislike this! Thank you so much!

[@Lamara5292]

The possibilities with this pattern are endless, love it.

[@vjohnson8474]

I made a shaw using this pattern, it was easy and turned out even better than I expected! I used a textured wool. The edging makes the look and I'm keeping it just the way it is. Used size 10 gage needles to give it a lighter look and feel. Thanks for the video!

[@aliwehr]

I've made several variations of this pattern, blankets, shawls and even dishclothes. It's beautiful and simple. Thanks for posting this, it was a very nice vid.

[@TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Very cool. Im glad you showed it after a bit. Ive never seen anyone kint so loosly. But it really looks great. Thanks. Great easy pattern.

[@arlenewillans2989]

I have started to knit your pattern in a slightly chunkier wool and it is ideal and so easy , i shall make a summer shawl in a cotton knit. This will be ideal for wearing on cool nights A delightful easy wonderful pattern thank you so much

[@MiriamMcDade]

Will definitely be starting this soon.. great for Christmas presents 😊👍… I like the openness with using larger needles.. thank you 😊

[@angelineangela5981]

this is by far the easiest pattern ever!!! i started right away! thank you for sharing. love it!!

[@GingerRootable]

I so loved this pattern it was the easiest and only shawl I could seem to master being the clutz that I am. Thank you. I edged with some lace I found at thrift store vintage lace and it is quite beautiful and got worn to my daughter's university commencement ceremony! I worked it in shades of cream. At the risk of sounding greedy please make more video!

[@nina1522]

I've been looking for an easy shawl pattern since I've never made one before.This is perfect! Thanks for uploading!

[@catherinemelnyk9769]

I just found your basic shawl shapes and am on the circular shawl, doing a tester. Fabulous! Thanks for all the work you put into this for us! I'll definitely buy your ebook on shawls.

[@laylock]

Hi Salma, it depends what weight yarn you're using. A lace-weight yarn will probably all fit on straight needles, but anything thicker and you will probably need circular needles. You might also be able to purchase extra-long straight needles, but you'll be much more comfortable using circulars. Good luck with your shawl! :)

[@MilkWithKni7es]

Thank you for this video! This is how my mom taught me to make dishcloths but I am terrible at knitting. I want to make a shawl to entertain myself as I recover from surgery but I can only knit back and forth. Even I can handle this! Thank you so much for sharing

[@myoung6968]

Can't wait to get my needles out and try this! I so very much have wanted a knitted shawl forever!!

[@susieramer5444]

Thanks for the video. I will me attempting my hand at this. I just took up knitting over the past week, and this will be my first official knit pattern!

[@stayshaE]

Thank you for this tutorial ... I made a cute beige shawlette and I can proudly say "I knit it myself". Thank you sooo much it was easy and I will be making another for my Mom.

[@amaliamo8744]

I need to learn step by step how to knitting and how to make wonderful things this is my first experience!!! wonderful!!!

[@michelef.1236]

Thank you so much, Ms. Laylock. It would also be helpful for younger and beginning knitters to see the same pattern demonstrated with larger needles and yarn.

[@carolkight2994]

This was my first time with this shawl pattern, now I can knit a shawl along with crocheting one. thank you very much. I will keep my eye on your web for more patterns.

[@rubyfisch5077]

This will be perfect to do when my husband and I are traveling by van this summer. Thanks!

[@courag1]

Lovely idea and terrific color on the yarn (and the finger nails!!)

[@tracytammaro2385]

Thank you for sharing this lovely pattern. I have just started knitting, not having made anything yet, but am going to try this!

[@desireeetzel6609]

Thank you a ton for sharing this! This is my 1st shawl and it is turning out beautifully! Can't wait to wear it to the office and show it off.

[@TheMiriamLima]

First of all you have a wonderful voice, I was looking for a easy shawl pattern when I came across your beautiful tutorial, thanks!!!

[@JacqsieRae]

I just purchased some mohair yarn...giving it a try with your pattern....so pretty so far. Thank you

[@thegrinch0614]

This is great!!! I'm definitely trying this one out!! As a new-ish knitter, I like how simple this is. A no brainer and no pattern to have to keep going back to, so if I get tired of i and put it down, I can just pick it back up anytime and know exactly what to do!! Thank you! And by the way, you have lovely hands! Hehe :)

[@laylock]

Haha, thank you! I do hope you give it a go. It's great to have a mindless project while watching tv or travelling. :)

[@jojohno6035]

OMG! This is so simple and gorgeous! Thank you for the tutorial!

[@shelly5596]

Wow that's neat, I'd like to see it finished.

[@lisam8963]

love this pattern. it is very fast and super easy!! im making a shawl using this ptter right now. thank you for posting this.

[@heidiheidibobide]

Henri - the yarn over (yo) is what does the increasing. The cast on was really just the slip knot - just one stitch.

[@kiranuchsawangkit3844]

Love all patterns showing here to benefit for my habbits ..easy and attractive...

[@macdaiddavidson8051]

I love the way this looks. I’m going to try it when I finish the last one I started.

[@Tatycharmz]

Yay! Its my first knitted project and I LOVE V shawls!!!! I don't even know how to do one in crochet, so this is FABULOUS!!! Thanks super much! Ohhh and very pretty pink things :)

This really is a easy way to knit a beautiful shawl. Thank you

[@teresawestwood4287]

thank you!

[@corapatterson3520]

I love this pattern. It's so simple, and looks so good. Thanks!

[@raphaelsylla876]

This is great! Honestly, this would work using long circulars!

[@needlepullingthread1573]

Your my new best friend. I have wanting to make kerchiefs for my hair, squeal

[@autdummy]

I used to knit all the time a few years ago but then I switched to crocheting. I just saw this video and decided to whip out my needles and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to knit. I was getting so frustrated 😂😂😂. Literally screamed “Why are these needles so long?!!” I have finally gotten this pattern though and it is really easy.

[@honibear6478]

Hello, I just came across your video and I think it's just lovely and seems ever so simple. I'm trying to improve my knitting skills (I've only made one project) and this pattern will help me do just that. Thank you so much for sharing it.

[@tressawi]

Thank you so much really Ive been looking for an easy shawl pattern for years!!!

[@patriciachandler340]

You deserve an award for this pattern technique. Thank you for sharing. My Girl Scout group will love this. I can't wait to show them how to knit this shawl It will make a wonderfult Christmas gift for their Moms

Super!То, что я хотела.Всё получилось очень красиво!

[@Anna.GG.]

Pretty, quick project. Perfect for a bandana. Thanks for sharing.

[@jessikajean]

If you look at the Truly Tasha's Shawl, you'll see it's the same basic shawl. Binding off is neatly taken care of by the knitted-on border that nibbles away at the stitches as it's done.

[@chok0321]

Esta lindo , yo lo teji , también teji un chal hermoso que hizo hace años , un blanco , 😍😍 hermosisimo

[@kyliehaworth9339]

thank you for this tutorial. I found it easiest one to understand and now I'm on my way to making one 😄

[@Freiathetherianfan]

i learned how to knit about 3 days ago and i can make this:-) so simple and great tutorial

[@laylock]

I can't guarantee results, but it doesn't hurt to try. After all, the great thing about knitting is that you can just unravel it! :) Check your yarn label for the recommended needle size & use needles 1 or 2 sizes larger. Hope that helps.

[@Lindseyjones6422]

Holy cow is so easy and super great !!

[@jonalisa77]

find a circular needle with a cable long enough to hold your shawl bunched up on it (however wide it is now, multiply by enough to be the final width). then, move over to the circulars: just use the circular needle on the next row, instead of your straight needle, and then use the circular from then on. Even if the shawl is distorted, you may be able to 'fix' it when blocking when you finish knitting! good luck!!

[@deborahbarrett8218]

I absolutely love this pattern….thank you so much! I wonder if I were to make this a square shawl with this pattern how would I decrease to keep the loop edge? Your thoughts?

[@BethPaige]

#facepalm. Was just about to send an angry message saying this doesn't work, until I realized I was doing a yarn over before EVERY knit instead of just at the end. May be the easiest pattern, but there are still people (like me) who will find a way to screw it up. LOL I'm gonna try again.

[@shirleyyl1826]

[@1fredforme]

It's yarn over at the beginning of each row.

[@12lesflo]

I absolutely love this pattern.... And in my favorite color thank you so much for sharing this....

[@kukulidouce2014]

I have been following you for quite some time and would like to ask you how to do this YO at the beginning of the row BUT you don't want to increase stitch count -- it is just a 6 stitch knitted strip to which I want and need to YO on only one side for about 3"... Thank you...!

[@mariahansen2164]

love this! My shawl is coming out gorgeous!

[@mumutun7362]

very pretty! will try out soon!

[@Zaikaru2010]

Yes this is very easySo easy in fact that I did it without realizing that I had done this while making my shawl and thought it was a mistake but liked how it looked so I went with it.NOW I see the video and I'm like HA! NOW I SEE THIS! D'oh!

Esmeralda Santos to g MCEA Update After a 2 month lull in the activities of the Expert Committee of MCEA, there was a sudden rush of events following the 11th April 2014 - 5th meeting of the Committee. In a way it was a turning point. The hanging sword of control of rate list of medical establishments was vehemently opposed by me. The grievance of exorbitant billing by the NGOs was misdirected towards the nursing homes who cater to more than 70% of the private medical care today. Hence there was no point in punishing the private nursing homes for the exorbitant billing of the bigger hospitals. On behalf of AMC, I submitted the following opinion of Adv Rui Rodrigues about the irrationality of standardization of charges in the CEA; “In any event, it is noteworthy to mention at this stage that any unreasonable restrictions sought to be imposed, will have to meet the nexus test of Art.14 of the Constitution of India and also Art.19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India and, therefore, the proposed Act in the draft Bill form presently, leaves no scope to introduce such an extraneous control for interfering with the administrative-cum-official autonomy of the private clinical establishments, which as long as they follow the conditions laid down in the said proposed Act.” Further, opinion of an Ex-Member of Competition Commission of India was also submitted emphasizing that, “The Act should create a competitive environment in order to encourage the clinical establishment makes more facilities available. The Act in all its earnestness should allow the market to determine the rate of charges based on the facility available. Creating a standardised rate card is a reminder of the socialist regime and has failed miserably all over the world and is no longer applied.” The Health Ministry declared, that they would be inviting public opinion to the revised draft worked upon by the Expert Committee, at eight cities on 3rd May 2014. Each of the committee member was assigned a centre. Accordingly I visited the Nasik centre. AMC has taken the lead in creating awareness of the existing stage of MCEA drafting. Dr Pattiwar spoke to a doctors gathering in Chandrapur, Dr Bahekar spoke to the Thane-Dombivali branch medicos and I shared the update to doctors of Amravati & Nasik. This helped in creating a stir amongst the medicos and they were armed with the right objections to be presented in their respective centres. In Mumbai, Thane was the only centre and Mira- Bhayender medicos (150) represented AMC, lead by Dr Niranjan Agarwal along with the local IMA branch Office bearers.

[@patriciaarancibia8012]

So nice So easy I"ll do it..thanks!!😍😍

[@maryschermer618]

Hi I love this patter. Thank you for posting it. Would i be allowed to sell any shawls that I make using this pattern?

[@jonalisa77]

the movement at about 55 seconds is tying a slip knot. when you pull one end of the knot (and it's not around a needle) the knot just slips right out and you have a straight string again.

[@teresaolofson2221]

how can i achieve the same edge when binding off to match the pretty edge stitches?

[@sandygrogg1203]

Beautiful yarn... Nice, easy pattern!💕

[@Peg-ee5ei]

That's beautiful! Thank you so much. I liked and subscribed

[@LindaIBrown]

What cast off stitch would you use to finish the last row edging?

[@LizKS48]

So cool!! Thanks so much for this. I've been working on two shawls this past week and just can't seem to get them the way I want. This looks perfect. Can you make this as big as you want? I'm wanting to make a shawl for a larger person and I am supposing you can just keep going as wide as you need but want to make sure. I LOVE your nail polish and your pretty pink things! :)

This is so fun! For those of you who have finished is there any way to link a photo?

[@DnDorBust]

+laylock how will i weave the loose strands in at the first row when I complete it? Should I just go straight through the middle of the triangle? I really don't want to mess up those cute little loops at the edgs.

[@alindastar]

I don't knit but do crochet, just wondering if this is something a novice can do? I know that simplistic patterns can be deceiving making it all about the tension with nasty results... is this one of those patterns? Also I do not understand the part about getting needles 1 or 2 sizes bigger than you yarn requires if I don't knit how would I know what is what with the needles any suggestions? Loved the video.

[@daniellalights159]

I cant seem to get this right lol ,I will be attempting again since I have a newborn now and I wanna make a shawl I can wrap him up with along with his receiving blanket
