How to knit a shawl in garter stitch with leaves - sideways

In this DROPS video we show how we knit a shawl with garter stitches and leaves worked sideways. We have cast on a much smaller number of stitches than it says in the pattern and we have already knitted row 1-4, 3 times. We start the video showing row 1-4, the 4th time (with gray), then how we decrease and increase to the leaves (with yellow), then working row 1- 4, 1 time after a leaf and finish how we bind off. This shawl is knitted in DROPS Fabel, but in the video we work with a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. You must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly.

Thank you for the video, I took a little time getting used to no-voice over, but the video is excellent. I was stuck on Row two where it said: K all sts, K YO twisted; until I watched the video, what it meant was knit the YO stitch from the previous row as a twisted stitch - but it was unclear. I\'m looking forward to getting into the shawl -thanks again for the video.

Yes. "work 2 stitches in last stitch" is a ktbl. i.e. Knit 1 , then without dropping the stitch, knit through the back loop of the same stitch to make 1 extra stitch, (Increase by 1). Drop both stitches off the needle.

This video is extremely helpful, as the pattern was hard to understand. To make the yellow points on the edges, the pattern says "work 2 stitches in last stitch". In the video it seems that it is a simple kfb increase. Is that so? And if so, why would the pattern use such obscure terminology? I could not find what "work 2 st in last st" meant exactly, and there were many different explanations online. It would be simpler to describe it as it is.

In dit filmpje zijn de gele randen hoekig (door cast off met k-k-pas over), terwijl op de foto’s in het patroon er mooi gladde randen zijn. Duidelijk een andere techniek gebruikt lijkt me, maar welke?

DROPS Design :

Dag Sanne,

In het patroon wordt dezelfde afkanttechniek gebruikt als in het filmpje, maar het kan zijn dat het er wat anders uitziet doordat er ander (dikker) garen gebruikt wordt in het filmpje.

Hello. I would like to buy comparable yarn in the US. Would you tell me the weight of the yarn and the size of the corresponding needles, please? I am new to knitting and would love to knit this pattern. It is lovely. How much would it cost to complete the shawl using the drops yarn used on the model, and is it available to me in the US? Or- May I buy it online? How long for delivery?

How to knit a hooded scarf, following DROPS pattern 253-61

In this DROPS video, we have already worked the hood (size L/XL) and placed the stitches on 2 stitch holders. We now show how to knit up stitches around the hood and work an I-cord bind-off until there are 2 stitches left on the row. These 2 stitches are placed on one of the stitch holders, while 2 stitches are picked up on the other side and placed on the second stitch holder. Read I-CORD BIND-OFF in the pattern text. Cut the strand. Place the stitches from one stitch holder back on the needles. Now we show you how to cast on stitches for the right-hand side of the scarf, work 1 row before knitting together the hood and scarf, starting mid-back. At the same time, you work I-cord edge stitches and moss stitch rib. Read the explanations in the pattern text, for I-CORD BIND-OFF, 2 I-CORD EDGE STITCHES, moss stitch rib and how the hood and scarf are joined. When all stitches are picked up from the hood (50 rows worked), the 2 stitches from the stitch holder are still separate and on the stitch holder (in the video they are placed on the needle). Knit these 2 stitches (in size S/M there are 3 stitches on the stitch holder, you then knit 1 and knit the other 2 stitches together). Then work back from the wrong side with 2 I-cord edge stitches, purl 2 together, work moss stitch rib until there are 3 stitches left, purl 1 and work 2 I-cord edge stitches. Read the explanation in the pattern text on how and where to bind off the scarf’s right-hand side. We show row 1 (from the right side) of the 8 first rows, then how to bind off on row 1 (from the right side). Now work the left-hand side of the scarf, then sew the cast-on edges on the right and left-hand sides of the scarf together mid-back, using grafting stitch. We use the yarns DROPS Daisy and DROPS Kid-Silk in the video, with the same colors and needle size as in the pattern.
