The Vortex Shawl Knitting Tutorial!

Here is the link to the website I mentioned where I was inspired to create the two formulas for this shawl -

[@Bunefoo401]

Love, love, love this shawl. I’ve been crocheting lots of shawls for Prayer ministry, with 2 knitted ones thrown in … time to change things up and do another knitted one, and this will be it ❤️❤️

[@golotomer]

Thanks once again. I love your videos. They are always so concise. I had a similiar pattern that I had purchased years ago called Hitchhiker to the Galaxy. Having knitted and crocheted for over 60 years I have collected so many paid patterns but I have changed computers, moved things on to external hard drives, etc. and it never fails that I can't find the pattern that I want when I want it. Your tutorial saved me many hours of hunting and frustration. Thank you, thank you, thank.

[@marilynbunte5376]

Thank you! My first project after only knitting scarves. You are a wonderful teacher. Keep your lessons coming.

[@melmack2003]

This pattern is a gem....fast and easy to memorize! I'm on my third shawl. Regarding the sawtooth edging, I've tried 3 to 6 stitches and 4 or 5 are my preferences, depending on the weight of the yarn.

[@elizabethk6658]

I have been knitting for several years in the same style as you knit. I learned from a KZbin video. I consider myself an advanced beginner. I am currently crocheting your drsgon wing shawl, and l love the pattern! I was searching for an easy yet elegant asymmetrical shawl to knit that started at the point. The videos l watched had me lost at the beginning. I was browsing your videos and was blessed to find this pattern that ticked all the boxes! I was familiar with every stitch. Oh, happy day! And thank you so very much! ❤

[@majormomma]

Great job on this pattern design! It's an easy design to knit, yet looks complex and very stylish.

[@TizianaTina]

Thank-you Fiber Spider. Everytime I see a new video from you another project is added to my list! Your knitting and crochet tutorials are clear and concise.

[@ReneeWardRealtor]

Thank you for your patience and teaching. I'm now knitting your diagonal scarf and can't wait to this vortex shawl. I do have a tip 😋...I unwind my skeen with the thumb elbow method before knitting and then soak the yarn in fabric softner for a bit, dry it and then knit. I do find that the yarn just glides though my fingers and create a true stitch.

[@maria2400]

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen. Thank you.

[@schnoozs]

I'm working on this vortex and it's really easy. Just in case anyone is curious as to what the top length would be, I measure 62" (60" is 5 ft) from fingertip to fingertip. I measured my husband's and his is 63-1/2". I'm sure some will need it to be longer. Just giving viewers an idea. I'm loving this so far. I've done about 40", so, I'm getting there. Thanks for another great video!!

[@stephiedrown795]

what alovely calm teacher you are ! thank you for this great pattern. i have just started it.💜😍

[@rosieraka6767]

Thank you!!! I love your tutorial, so clear, precise and fun.

[@jenniferhowland5780]

This is my very first knit project ever! I have made it through the full tutorial thanks to you!! 😊😁 I'm so excited to continue and create my shawl. Thank you for making this so easy for me.

[@lindabrooks6610]

Could you put this pattern under comments. I missed part of it. I really liked it. Thank you.

[@giselletorres8655]

You are a great teacher ❤

[@tinaclaret5404]

Thank you very much for this wonderful Christmas gift. This afternoon, knitting with Mr Spider and beginning my new shawl. Best wishes!

[@patricecooper8419]

Hello Fiber Spider! I would like to express my deepest gratitude for teaching me this great looking shawl!! I love shawls-I came across this video last night, and it is super easy to me! What a very nice man--thank you so much!! I am in-'spidered'!

[@belenfernandezramal9571]

No tengo ni idea de inglés, te sigo desde España pero este chal lo he tejido varias veces, es sencillo de hacer y precioso Muchísimas gracias por compartirlo

[@jeannakelly4174]

Sorry my bad I got it I understand the pattern now after doing the repeats with you and seeing the eyelets form it made way more sense! I great appreciate that you do several repeats so the pattern becomes clear. I’m an avid Crocheter new knitter and you taught me something today. Just wish I could catch you live 😀

[@georgannagonzalez460]

Hi FiberSpider. Thank you so very much for this vortex shawl pattern, I LOVE 💕 IT. Practice does make it perfect, I’m on a roll!!!!😁 my five year old great grandson loves vortex’s and talks about the vortex so much. He will truly be surprised when he finds out she is wearing a vortex 🌪️ shawl.😉😊🥰💐

[@terri-tn9858]

Hey Fiber Spider! This is a great pattern to switch from crochet for a break! I have made 6 virus shawls in the last 5 weeks and I am ready to pick up my needles for a change! This pattern is good in that you don't have to think about it much and is simple to remember. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Thank you so much for the many tutorials you do for us throughout the year, I thoroughly enjoy every one of them. Hoping 2018 will be a great year for you and the yarnivores and spiderettes that follow you!! :-D

[@maria2400]

I’m working on my 3rd one now. I absolutely love this pattern.😊

[@ericabates5361]

Hello, I learnt to knit when I was a child but, I am very slow 😁 but then I learnt to Crochet about 15 years ago then when KZbin started I learnt everything Crochet 💕 I also Knit the Old fashioned English way but I am very slow & it takes me forever to knit an item 😥 I want to try Continental Knitting & I am waiting for my circular needles to arrive 😁 because I would like to try & knit a shawl/scarf & socks 😁 this is great Shawl for me to start with 😁 thank you for this great Tutorial 💙 Erica x

[@megrutkowski6282]

Really cool pattern! I love your explanations, it's really helpful for new knitters!

[@1958pobs]

Thank you so much, I never thought I would produce anything other than a scarf, but thanks to your efforts I’m doing more and it’s got teeth 🦷🙏😊

[@elizabethk6658]

Same here! 🧣

[@eastlynburkholder3559]

Maybe you want to mix yarn textures and weights or to use a yarn that has thick and thin, if you find this pattern too simple looking. This is a good project for that. And adding this warning, this pattern has the hard part front loaded and once you have made 3 teeth, then following the pattern gets very easy. I also did my bind offs (for the teeth) differently. I knitted all the stitches I was going to bind off, checked the tension of those stiches (adjusted those if needed), then pushed all but two stitches back onto the needle holding the old row, bound off one stitch by pushing one loop over the other loop and then off the needle (this done on the the new row needke), then moved one stitch onto the needle holding the new row, bound off one stitch, and continued until I had bound off all the stitches. If you are going to use yarn that goes thin and thick or use mixed texture and weights of yarn, you might have to adjust the count to get good looking teeth. Yeah my teeth look good but maybe do not count the bind offs in each tooth. I actually played with this pattern and had different size teeth, and that looks great too., I did an extra turn the work to make stripes (so front side look and back side look alternate each having one tooth) and I used a fancy stitch pattern I already knew, so this pattern should not be looked at as not only for simple stitch patterns and not only for beginners. Excellent shawl pattern for being able to stop when one runs out of yarn. Experienced knitters should look at this simple easy pattern as a beginning point and not ignore this shawl as too boring and not challenging enough, and should swatch a stitch pattern and make the shawl more interesting (if that appeals to you). And newer knitters should not be scared out of using this pattern by what I just typed. You as a newer knitter can do this shawl in the garter stich and then do the shawl again. This shawl pattern begs to be done in a variegated yarn and a sold color, so maybe add a solid color to a color cake or use your favorite variegated yarn color and a solid color that matches or coordinates with the other yarn. (Only be wary of putting in an almost matching solid yarn with a color of a variegated yarn, because this can look,really bad or really great.) And picking this pattern,, you will have learned a pattern you want to use again which is not true of every beginner project pattern.

[@barbsanderson231]

I cannot thank you enough for posting this tutorial! I have made quite a few knitted dragon wing shawls, and this is a lot more satisfying to knit. I using Caron Big Cakes in Peppercream and it is coming out just gorgeous!!!! Thank you again and I LOVE your tutorials, both knitted and crocheted :)

[@truebe01]

Great pattern, love it. - easy and pretty with a lot of different design possibilities. Thank you.

[@akshathakini157]

Just started this today! Loving it! I have learnt so much from you. Extremely grateful for your wonderful teaching 😊🙏

Hola, soy Mexicana pero vivo en Italia. Gracias por compartir . Seguí tu tutorial y le hice uno a mi suegra. Le gustó mucho.

[@chachismontemayor4185]

i dont know what i love more ..... if your soft voice or your wonderful work 😕 ❤💋❤💋❤💋❤

[@redredwine1277]

Well explained and illustrated. Thanks for sharing🌹

[@eastlynburkholder3559]

Fiber spider i love this, but you did not stress enough how that inner upper edge of this shawl being a curve is going going to stay put on the body better than a triangle scarf and better than other similar looking shawls. And you did stress enough how an experienced or brave knitter can adapt this simple 'boring' pattern into something more dramatic looking. And great tutorial showing how the stitches are worked.

[@gailfirenze4760]

Thank you so very much. Very clear and concise. I’m really enjoying this shawl. Blessings Gail.

[@shulamit46]

Thank you for sharing this pattern, you are so right it’s a lot of fun, I am doing the 6 teeth shawl, I appreciate your videos

Thank you. Very good instructions. I quickly got the hang of it. 😊

[@padmajanvekar9145]

Fantastic creation and starting to knit it 👍

[@SynfulMemory]

That colorway you had the larger teeth on looks similar to Pumpkin spice. Lovely design. Thanks for sharing.

[@u.s.n.retired1995]

Very nice. I will start one tomorrow. Thanks again for your nice instructions. Happy New Year, hope you had a nice holiday.

[@susanelizabeth2946]

I wonder how this shawl is worn. It looks lovely and your instructions are great.

[@sewwoollyltd4509]

Morning Spider. I really hope that you had A wonderful Christmas. Thank you for this tutorial. It is on my new years resolutions list to learn how to knit and this is going to make A perfect first project. I think that I will start on it this evening after my traditional Boxing Day canal cycle ride. I don't have Caron Cakes to work with (too expensive here in the UK.) I am thinking of using 'I Love This Yarn' I have several skiens in variegated that up to now I didn't know what to do with. As always sending you love from across the pond. Xx

[@FiberSpider]

Awww, thank you, I hope you had a wonderful day too! Of course you can use whatever yarn for this project 😊 If this is your first knitted project you are attempting I'm quite flattered. I would strongly suggest practicing your stitches with a swatch first to get used to the various stitches/techniques, also perhaps checking out some of my other knitting tutorials covering the basics. Just remember to be patient and to BREATHE! 😊🕷🕸

[@adriennedunne1748]

Hi Fibre Spider. Thank you for this. I've got 4 small teeth so far in cream yarn. Like sharks yarn teeth 😂😅 I'm really enjoying it. Gonna break up an almost full scein of carron cake "blueberry muffin" with creamy stripes. Irs great fun bring creative. Thank you for helping me learn. Keep smiling. More videos please. You're terrific. 😊

[@robinpadilla1434]

Hello thanks for the pattern you are perfect in your explanation. I was just wondering if there's a way to do this pattern without the teeth?

Beautiful shawl!

[@marthalambert9531]

Thank you!! Love this !!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mirjanamilosavljevic4261]

I am going to use long needles, as usual, can’t stand wire , it is OK with me ,did lots of different projects with 150 stitches. How many stitches are at the end on this # of needles? Thanks 🌷

[@FiberSpider]

I don't recall the exact number unfortunately. Either until your project is "big enough" or you run out of yarn. If the size is difficult to gauge being bunched up on your needles, you can always take it off using a lifeline.

[@juanitamoncebaiz3730]

How many stitches are we supposed to end with before bidding off. Thank u so much 🕷

[@debralittle1341]

This is beautiful. Could you figure this out as a crochet shawl?

[@FiberSpider]

Thank you. I do have one that is similar - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6OsiIWAoNeqmM0

[@8888barb]

nice and easy instructions.

[@jeannakelly4174]

I have a question this is beautiful shawl I just love it but Row 2 you say K1,1yo,K remaining for 1 st of the 6 rows then after the bind off For Row 4 you say K 1 ,yo, k remaining stitches but you didn’t say that in row 4 before or did I just have it wrong maybe I do. I’m a beginner knitter yo are a good teacher I’m leaning to bind off which I was worried about ❤️

[@bxgal347]

Omg I have that yarn but I’m working on the 10 stitch blanket

[@eastlynburkholder3559]

I want to add one comment. If i am using different colors or textures, then I measure with my knitting needle or eyeball it. A color cakled anemone runs from deep red to lightish pink and I made the teeth or notches as i call them uniformly growing bigger in size as the scarf-shawl gets bigger.

[@jenniferrieckman4289]

Could this be possible loom knitted? I have tried knitting with needles and I don't much care for it. I prefer to crochet but this is pretty cool.

[@lesleysmith9062]

How do you do the decress bit I a new knitter

[@lucilesnow5180]

Regarding your comment about needles. I use to buy all my needles atHobby Lobby. Suddenly there are no wooden needles. I was told Thad they no longer carry them as they do not sell. What.? All my knitting friends use them. What gives?

[@missygrasso3125]

with the large teeth do u still just cast on 3 stitches or would u cast on 6 stitches

[@FiberSpider]

I believe that I cast on 6 for the large toothed one, although I think 3 might work as well, give both a try and see what works for you 😊
