Mini Bean Shawl using Mandala yarn

Hey everyone, here's a free tutorial on how to create this mini bean shawl using the mini bean stitch. I used one full skein of mandala Thunderbird for a shawl measuring 20.5 inches in length and 45 inches wide. If you want to make it larger, you just have to add more yarn. Hope you found this tutorial helpful and thank you for watching !

[@smilely771]

I just found this ! I’m so happy because I just purchased mandala yarn and didn’t know what I was going to make. I’ve started it, and love it. Thank you 🙂

[@mycozeplace]

You are so welcome!

[@bonnieriffle9352]

Thank you for producing such a clear and concise tutorial. I have been searching for just the right pattern to make with my Mandala skein in the color "Centaur". This is exactly what I needed!

[@mycozeplace]

Bonnie Riffle I’m so happy to hear it was easy to understand!! I’m pretty new at KZbin tutorials so I’m trying my best to put out clear crochet tutorials! I’m getting ready to make a FB page for all my subscribers to share their work, see upcoming tutorials, and general crochet 👍🏻

[@jenjen4655]

Amanda your tutorial was great. I usually have a hard time with these types of stitches , not this time. Thank you.

[@lauriewidenmaier1171]

Thanks so much for the tutorial. I have so far made 4 of these and just love the way they work up. I plan on donating them to a homeless shelter. Thanks!!!

[@mycozeplace]

Laurie Widenmaier I’m so happy to hear not only you liked my tutorial but your giving to a homeless shelter! I pray lots of blessings come to those you give them to and God bless you hun!!

[@lauriewidenmaier1171]

Thanks, I just love making things and have no one to give them too lol.

[@mycozeplace]

Laurie Widenmaier I get that!!! New yarn comes out or a new tutorial you just have to try!! That’s totally me too 👍🏻

[@kellyharris9697]

I was looking for something different to do. Can't wait to try this, I have 3 balls of Scarfie yarn. Keep the videos coming.

[@valerielihou5494]

So thrilled with this tutorial. Love the mini bean stitch! Thank you.

[@mycozeplace]

Me too 🥰!! Your welcome

[@mwhittaker9159]

Haha - I thought the knocking at your end was my dogs getting into something in the kitchen! Thanks - been looking for an interesting pattern to crochet a wrap for a friend

[@margaretdombkoski4780]

Making this in Cupcake yarn. It's been a challenge - but I am progressing. Would suggest using a marker on the point and being sure to count the "beans" on each side. A bit tedious, but necessary. Love the results so far. Have done two baby blankets in Suzette stitch, and this does seem similar. Thank you for the pattern:)

[@mycozeplace]

margaret dombkoski yes!! If it will make it easier and help you find stitches then I would use a stitch marker! I’ve been crocheting for years and I will still use one if I feel it’s going to help keep my place. Happy crocheting and thanks for watching my tutorial 👍🏻

[@gigiotter444]

This is a lovely pattern, and works up great straight from the get go!

[@Tanacarroll]

Beautiful and I’m new. This shawl has been the best and easiest to learn for a beginner. I recommend this pattern for newbies. Thanks!

[@mycozeplace]

Tanacarroll you just made my day 💜. Thank you very much!!

[@granny4897]

I am so doing this shawl. That you!

[@sandygrogg1203]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you. I love the look of this beautiful shawl. And I love Lion Brsns’s Mandala. The Mini Bean Stitch is awesome.

[@mycozeplace]

Sandy Grogg your very welcome!!! Hopefully will have some more tutorials coming soon

[@debbieaubee1635]

I was having a crojo issue while recovering from surgery and was sent a cake of a substitution of Mandala yarn in the Thunderbird colorway (I had ordered Pegasus...big switch in colorways...lol) and came across your tutorial and decided to give it a shot as I haven't had a chance to use Mandala yarns yet...and a slip in my crojo. But this is fabulous and I thank you. I am loving this. Now to find another cake of Thunderbird as I tend to lean toward longer shawls. But this may be enough and I may wear in more of a cowl style wrap. Thank you again.

[@mycozeplace]

Debbie Aubee your more than welcome!

[@sandrasantoyo6942]

Excellent tutorial I loved. Thanks

[@patriciadouglass7141]

I would love to try this pattern in Malibrigo yarn. So pretty! Also need to find some of the Mandala yarn as well. You are a very good teacher! Looking forward to more of your videos! Thank you!

[@mycozeplace]

Patricia Douglass it's definitely a pattern I had to work with to get it simplistic but it does have a lot of texture that makes it look harder. I'm glad you enjoyed my tutorial and I will be doing some more videos soon. Thanks for your comment!

[@marietamura4534]

Thanks, this is just what I needed. I have a ball of Mandala which is perfect for this. Already zooming through!

[@mycozeplace]

It works up fairly quickly for a shawl! Glad to see you trying out my pattern 😊

[@frogsinthepot4635]

Ty. I've wanted to make a shawl but I don't like the holes in most. This is very doable 👍

[@moniquevanoorschot9524]

What a Super Cute Stich 😍

[@happycamper5529]

I love this stitch ❣️👏

[@mycozeplace]

[@sarbar86]

Love this! Going to give it a try.

[@mycozeplace]

Have fun!

[@nicolaking2704]

This is a great tutorial. Thank you. Have had a go and done some practicing, and now feel ready to use my Mandala Baby cake....looking forward to the finished result. Using a 4.5 hook as I tend to crochet on the loose side....

[@kellycoleman7898]

I am glad that I watched your video because I have been looking for a Shaw to make that is very warm and here it is. I cannot thank you enough, my sister has terminal bone cancer and I've been trying to find a warming up Shaw and everything out there is always Lacey. Thank you once again and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a very blessed New Year

[@mycozeplace]

[@chroniccaterpillar6427]

Thank you ☺️

[@neshkadaniellefine2258]

I finished my shawl using this same pattern and yarn and it came out to be 45.5" wide and 23 5" long. My first one. Proud of myself but it's small and in not sure why.

[@ElaCox]

thank you , thank you thank you !

[@annamay3083]

Please make a video for a easy easy granny st.shawlett you are truly amazing

[@nicolagarlick9111]

Beautiful shawl lovely colour. Just wanted to clarify when you are doing your second row, or are you going into the chain after the mini bean or going into the mini Bean. Thank you very much for your time I did enjoy watching that

[@mycozeplace]

Nicola Garlick when you watch the video I do a mini bean in the space next to my chain when starting my second row, then I do my second mini bean stitch of the row next to the mini bean stitch. So you see a cluster and then a trianglular stitch right next to the cluster, that’s where you’ll make your mini bean stitches. When you end the row, make sure to do your DC. Hope I understand the question and answered correctly. If not just let me know 👍🏻. Thank you for watching!

[@nicolagarlick9111]

BeeLoved Crochet Awesome thank you. I think it will all become clear when I begin making my one today.

[@patm6412]

Such a pretty shawl! Do you have a tutorial for a shawl with a U shaped neckline as this drapes better over the shoulders. Thanks

[@chastityropafadzodziva3728]

Its beautiful, and quiet easy to follow, but was wondering how you wear it

[@mycozeplace]

chastity ropafadzo Dziva there’s so many ways to wear it . You can even google how to wear a shawl. This one I usually wear it how the picture is. I put the point on my chest and the ends wrap around the neck area. Hope this helps!

[@crochetmelovely]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@richardb5566]

If I never get the words mini bean stitch again I can die happy

[@sayyadahmariamfatemah1134]

God Bless U tooo Aameen

[@perfectfan2006]

That is so pretty.. how many skeins of yarn did it take to do.

[@JazzyJude]

Oh what a FUN stitch this is! Love your scarf. How many rows did you do before you stopped? Just curious

[@mycozeplace]

Jude Mathena-Fishell I’m glad you liked it!! Mini bean stitch gives things a lot of texture! Honestly I didn’t count I just got to my desired measurement and stopped.

[@JazzyJude]

I finished the Shawl. It’s sooo beautiful, thanks to you. I sent a join request to your Facebook page ~ would love to share a photo. And if you have Instagram too!

[@mycozeplace]

Jude Mathena-Fishell I’d love to see it too... I’ll take a look at my page here in a minute!!

[@trinejensen1707]

Which type/brand is the crochet-needle you use in this video, it looks like it has a good grip around the loops

[@MandyandherBoys]

Susan bates... I like the flatter head and I feel it works much better!

[@gimmedatstick]

Hi! I've been looking for a lightweight shawl pattern to make for my daughter using some Mandala yarn I bought---I think I will try this! Thank you for sharing. Good luck with your channel! Subscribed!!

[@mycozeplace]

gimmedatstick I hope you liked the tutorial and it was easy to follow, thank you for the subscription to my channel 😊

[@ajc.9639]

It’s 3.00 at my Walmart

[@mellodysharon7761]

So pretty... what size hook?

[@katreniaclark]

It calls for a 5mm but she uses a 5.5

[@cathykeehn2003]

For this pattern can you use bernat pop

[@tonyamercado9013]

Will this work with one ball of the regular mandala yarn?

[@samsonandcharlie1628]

Is it normal for it to curl in the beginning?

[@1carolmurphy]

helpful tie off, needle end of yarn away from the end, and because you like to knot, take the needle off, now divid your yarn, so you may have a 4 ply, 2 and 2 , wrap 2 strands around a lower yarn, bring back up to other 2 strands and tie your knots, I use a half surgen knot, go around 2 times as if you are making the first part of a regular knot, then the next part of the knot go around once , making sure it is tight, if you make it as a square knot, it and all knots hold better, top over top, so if the lower part of the knot lets say the righthand side, take that end and go over the top of the left hand to make a square knot.

[@SewPat1]

Is there a print out for this pattern.? I can’t seem to follow by starting and stopping the tutorial. TIA. Pat.

[@mycozeplace]

Pat R I’m sorry there is not. Where are you having a hard time? If I can help I’ll definitely try!

[@sonialeclerc6994]

What I do is watch the video first while writing the pattern, afterwards it’s easier to follow the video while crocheting 😊 Beautiful shawl, thank you.

[@susansabatgellner7876]

How come yours doesn’t have holes down the center? I even used a 5.25 mm hook. 😑

[@heatherghimire7744]

Probably because the bean stich is so close together

[@gabrielaboza8028]

Quiero que. Meable. Enespaño

[@marrau59]

You are doing it too tightly because you hold your hook wrongly and uncomfortably. Most in KZbin do it quite strangely.

[@esasamaemad799]

Very beautiful.i want the number of your hok.thank you,,🌹🌹

[@mycozeplace]

Thank you! The hook I used for this tutorial was a 5.5mm crochet hook 👍🏻

[@beatricepintodasilva4800]

En français j aimerais mieux merci

[@donnaridenhour-mchenry240]

I call that stitch you're using a 2/3s puff stitch. LOL!!

[@mycozeplace]

Donna Ridenhour-McHenry lol it’s a nice stitch 👍🏻
