How to Knit Shifting Stripes Shawl with knit stitches and short rows updated

[@jpeood32]

just ran across this video and pattern. I don’ t know why knitting a shawl seemed terrifying to me. However. I bit the bullet and without washing the video I was able to get started and I’m on a roll. this is a very good shawl to challenge even a beginner to understand “short rows” and “yarn overs.” My only down side it the running edge for the colors is a challenge to keep tidy, but as I go along it’s improving. The video, which I watched after I got a good start while reading the free pattern just impressed upon me the “yes, I can and did do this right’"

[@windymatheo]

It seemed like such a long repeat to remember, then when I began the project it only took a couple refrains and voila! piece of cake! Thank you so much for sharing the pattern. I'm in the process of one for my daughter and then will make another for my daughter in law. I only wish I could find cake yarn here in Athens, Greece. So far, I'm not able to find anywhere so am just using yarn which changes colors fairly fast. Thanks again Marly Bird! Hey, you're also a great instructor! Cheers!

I just learned about this shawl and downloaded the pattern and ordered foggy and couture color ways. I cant wait to knit this one up.

[@chrissiewindsor]

I love the shawl you have on!

[@patrician5215]

I love knitting this shawl. So easy with your video and it’s so pretty. Marley Bird you are fantastic and have made me a better knitter. Thank you so much.

Great video and the shawl your wearing is beautiful btw

[@marypapadatos245]

totally agree

[@judylee3589]

I love your makeup on this video, along with the beautiful shawl.

This looks like so much fun. Right now I am knitting an Asymmetrical Shawl but definitely want to try this in the future. thank you!

Marly, you are just lovely! Thank you so much for your video tutorials -- they are incredibly helpful and so appreciated. Stay safe and God bless! :)

[@laurapiquet7864]

Love your videos! However they make me want to start a new project every few mins or days. There's not enough time to make everything I want to do. I'm a knitting addict now. I really only want to knit, nothing else. Is there knitters anonymous?

[@SandraDouglas-ds4mz]

I just learned about this shawl and can’t wait to make it. I’m a fairly new knitter and I am having a VERY difficult time getting gauge. I am up to a US 7 needle when the pattern calls for a US 3. Even the yarn shows gauge at 26 sts using a size 5 needle. How can you possibly get gauge at 20 sts using a size US 3?

[@gracicreates3795]

You are a wonderful teacher!!!

[@iveypizarro1093]

Hi marly, I love your crochet and knitting tutorial , mostly I crochet but I know the basic on knitting. Love this shawl and it doesn’t seem difficult and least the way you are teaching it doesn’t. Is there a way to crochet one with the it’s a wrap yarn since there aren’t much projects of crochet with it’s a wrap yarn. I own about three beautiful colors of that yarn . If not this shawl maybe another project. ❤️🌹❤️😘

[@brian123655]

Hello my name is Brian and for a short row shawl I’m wondering when you rotate your work to have knit back in the opposite direction does that mean you are on the next row when working back in the opposite direction or does that mean you’re still on the current row you are currently on and also if you send me some links to videos on how to make a short row shawl or how to do the techniques featured in a short row shawl I would really appreciate it and I’m new to the world of short rows and short row shawl so that’s why if there’s a video on how to make a short row shawl or how to do techniques featured and available in short row shawls I would really appreciate it Thanks 🙏

[@RitaPsych1]

How do you carry the yarn you’re not using without leaving a big loose loop of yarn along the side? Can you show us how to do that? Love the finished product! Thanks!

[@ConnieCrochets]

I find this way keeps the edges neat and doesn’t leave large loops along the edge. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4K0qHWQjs6dg5o

[@libbygunter2133]

Does this use pretty much the entire cakes of yarn? Or most? I'm using a different, size 3-light, yarn and a bigger needle. I'm worried that I might need to go get more yarn.

[@loriscrochetcreations8566]

I love this shawl and want to make it. I have in my stash finger weight yarn with a long color change, but I'm not sure the colour change is long enough. How long is your colour change so that I can check and see if it would be an appropriate yarn to use. I've been trying to use this yarn in other projects instead of just making socks. I would appreciate your help. Thanks

[@DEniseCHAVEZ7]

I am a crocheter of 33 years. I just stared to knit about 3 months ago. And I would so much love to do this shawl. But how would I know what row I am on when I put my project down? How would I know where to pick up at?🤔

[@ah-schmidt1221]

Marly, I love purling (Portuguese style)!!! Can I make this pattern all in purl stitches instead of knit stitches?! Thank you! :-x

[@MusicCarla]

This is a lot of stitches to reach (606). I'm hoping that my 120 cm length circs will accommodate them all?

[@neetanand9230]

I love your tutorials and I love the intro music more 😊😊😊😊😁😁😁😁

[@yoyarngirllisa3716]

Hi Marly, do you think this could be done in a different weight yarn (Red Heart Treasure) I have stash.

[@MarlyBird]

Yes.

[@yoyarngirllisa3716]

Thanks

[@WarrenStClair]

OK, got the start up pattern for a&b. Then it says to loosely bring a up along the edge to work the next stripe. . I haven't worked this yet so I would like to "see" what you mean . Thanks

[@marypapadatos245]

When we turn the yarn it leaves holes in mine can I do the Japanese Yarn Turn instead or is it suppose to have the holes Thank you

[@MarlyBird]

The holes are super small on the sample. If they bother you and you want to do a Japanese short row or a German short row you absolutely can so that :)

[@marypapadatos245]

@@MarlyBirdWow what a quick reply. Thanking you. Mine has bigger holes I have no idea why. Could you do a short video or if you have one on how to do a different time of short row for this design.

[@tatou9]

After the kfb I did a wrap and turn = slip the next stitch purl wise bring the yarn in front slip the stitch back and then turn and continue with the pattern

[@iraidalily2384]

You showed us how to change colors in the beginning but I would like to know how you pick up the original color if you don’t break it off initially. I don’t know how you don’t create a long strand on the side of your work. Thanks for the help. I think I want to use the yarn you used as an example on your video instead of the yarn that is called for.

[@missiellie21]

Do you take the yarn from the middle or from the outside when using both skeins of yarn? It looks like from the picture that the short rows and regular rows start with the same color.

[@MarlyBird]

That is totally up to you. I honestly don’t know how the designer did it. Sorry.

[@missiellie21]

That’s okay! Thanks for responding!!😊

[@mizgokitty]

Can this pattern be done on a knitting loom? I have tried needles and that just doesn't work well for me

[@HaitianChica100]

I was thinking the same!

[@katiegorman2861]

I'm planning to us circular needles for this project. Just wonder how long my cord should be. I 32" and 47"

[@MarlyBird]

I prefer longer.

[@katiegorman2861]

@@MarlyBird Thank you.

[@kathytellier3806]

Just curious as to why all the sections have 6 rows except for the set up row for Stripe A? I like to learn how patterns work and wondered why not 6 rows here too?

[@MarlyBird]

I honestly don't know, you would have to ask the designer.

[@missingmymom812]

I love, love, love this pattern! Thank you! Can you please post what brand are the needles you're using?

[@ambrosiabelladonna630]

The pattern calls for Susan Bates® Knitting Needles: 3.25 mm [US 3]

[@DEniseCHAVEZ7]

Is there a crochet pattern similar to this one?

[@kenziemorgan2941]

What kind of bind off would u reccommend for this shawl?

[@MarlyBird]

God question. I think a basic bind off works great as long as you don’t make it too tight.

[@MrOldnslofly]

This is gorgeous! I bought the yarn today but I do not and did not get size 3 needles. I have been hesitant in the purchase because I am unsure what the measurement for the circular is needed to accommodate the widest stitch area? What would be your recommendation for the length of the needles?

[@Mizulina5]

I think I would use at least a 40” or 60” cords.

[@happymama219]

I love this shawl! Could I use one colorway for the whole shawl?

[@tracygoode3037]

Just ordered my yarn to make this, but am wondering how it would look in solid colors, as well. I did have one question, though--what is the difference between ItsAWrap and ItsAWrap Rainbow?

[@MarlyBird]

the yarn in It's a Wrap transitions abruptly from one color to the next and only has three colors in one ball; however it has more yardage. It's a Wrap Rainbow has a more subtle transition and more colors per ball.

[@tracygoode3037]

@@MarlyBird that's good to know! Thanks for your reply. Can't wait for my yarn to arrive so I can make this beautiful shawl.

[@tracygoode3037]

Okay, this may sound like a dumb question, but I just got my It'sAWrap rainbow yarns for the shifting stripes shawl and I have a question about it. The yarn seems to be four strands together in each ball. Do I use all four at the same time? Or just one strand? (I really feel dumb asking this, but I've never worked with yarn this fine before, other than crochet thread, and that is an obvious thing. These four strands are not twisted together, but parallel to each other.) Edit

[@MarlyBird]

Not dumb at all :) yes, use all four strands. The yarn is very lightly spun :) make sure as you knit you get all 4 strands so you don’t accidentally split a stitch.

[@tracygoode3037]

@@MarlyBird Thanks so much! I can't wait to get started--this is such pretty yarn.

[@purpleplumful]

What length of circular needle cord is needed? Thank you!

[@ambrosiabelladonna630]

I got 40 inch just to make sure. But I could see in the pattern the recommended length.
