Hi Guys! I have created a pattern page on Ravelry so that you have something to link project pages to. There is also a PDF "cheat sheet" for a nominal fee if you feel you need something other than what is in the description. :) www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/curved-asymmetrically-shaped-shawl
Thank you for putting the pattern instructions while you knit . It makes it so much easier to understand . Instead of just showing us the actual knitting . You're the first one I've seen to simaltaneously do this . Thank you so very much .
Hi Barbara. After scouring the internet for shawl patterns only to find confusing instructions I am so happy I found this! The repeat is simple and results beautiful. I have made your crescent shape version as well. You are a joy to watch and I have learned so much while being entertained. Thank you!
@@WatchBarbaraKnit thank you, I did! Your message finds me a few hours after I gave this shawl to my friend as a gift. It was very well received! And it was a very enjoyable knit. In fact, I have a second one on the needles to give to my mother in law. So thank you again for enabling me to do this. 🩵
Hi, I know this is a "aged" video but I found you about 4 months ago and LOVE your videos. I've learned quite a bit from you and love your patterns. I purchased your cowl pattern "Ring the Gack" and have made a least 4 already. LOVE IT. I just got your "cheat sheet" for this shawl because my one of my 2022 challenges was to make a lace shawl, where better to start but with this one. Thank you and please continue to feed my education and love of knitting.
Thank you!! This is perfect! It should knit up quick and I'll be able to send to my best friend before she's done with her Radiation! I'm using glow in the dark yarn. 😅
Making this one as I type this. The first Asymmetrical shawl I ever made was the step it up, but I refer to it as The Dragon Tail shawl. I collect dragons so hence the name. This one will be my 2nd Asymmetrical and so far I am loving it! Oddly I find it relaxing even though there is more than one-row repeat. My next one will be your Heart Shaped Shawl. Thanks for all you do! I also joined your FB group tonight. Very nice group!
They are crazy cute aren't they? And I find them very helpful in learning. This is how I work out ideas frequently and I thought it would be fun to share with y'all.
Just started knitting again had stopped for 30 years and I’m new to your channel and I got to say your a great teacher , very clear and the writing instructions at the bottom of the screen is awesome as it helps us to learn to read the pattern as well. Thank you for all your work. From Ottawa Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
sorry my dear, having a HARD dealing with HOW GORGEOUS all of this is. OMG....dying over here, cant wait to get started on my project too. LOVE THIS. totally enjoyed it and Subscribing to your channel. I knit and watch your videos., the best entertainment. xoxox
Thank You for sharing this pattern. That was so generous of you. I’m going to give it a try. I like that it is deeper then any of the other asymmetrical shawls I have made.
Intriguing! I have been searching for a shawl pattern. Oh, I am so glad this popped up! I am a very Asymmetrical person so I will be getting this started... soon! Thank you!
OMG, this is the pattern I have been looking for, I really wanted an asymmetrical shawl that was deeper than the scarf patterns I have but didn't know how to do it! Thank you so much!
Hi Barbara.....thanks for your videos......your presentation is very easy to understand.....I am a new knitter and I found it very difficult to understand how to turn 90 degree on cast on....you can make a video of that...it will help a lot.....thanks again
Hmmm, I'm not certain about the turning 90 degrees. If I said something that sounded like that in this video my apologies. Or are you working on something else. Turning 90 degrees sounds like doing a garter tab cast on. For this you just have to flip the needle over.
WatchBarbaraKnit It was just an idea for another video.....it took quite a lot of time for me to get this way of knitting.....it may be of help to other people
I'm just starting on one of these now, a test one for Gertie the Goat (a toy that is a running joke in my house) and then a real one for me if this is the kind I'd like to make. Until now, only rectangular shawls in my world, let's see which I prefer!
Cool pattern. I've been looking for a shawl pattern that's a bit more than just a standard triangle shawl but wouldn't be so much that I'd go nuts trying to knit it up, and this looks like a good one. Good tutorial. :)
You are amazing! I love your bright, cheery personality and enthusiasm! Your videos are so fun to watch. I'm a new knitter and I'm going to do this shawl as my first ever knitted shawl! Thank you!
I am so excited that you are going to knit your first shawl! I hope you have fun. If you have any questions please pop over to the FB group, we try to help! And thank you for your kind words.
Going to try this because it doesn't seem quite so complicated and then go for the lacy one you created for me. I'm not the roundest cookie in the jar. Not giving up!!
Really liked this shawl, but my question is about another asymmetric shawl I knitted. I liked the main pattern of the shawl, but I had to do peako (sp?) stiches on the end of my rows and then a peako bindoff. I found it very difficult to keep the end row peakos going and HATED doing a peako bind off. If I like a pattern, can I do it without those peakos?
If you have the confidence you can definitely modify patterns to suit yourself. The bind off would be the easiest thing to omit, just use a different bindoff. The picots on the edging might be slightly trickier depending on how they are integrated into the pattern. But you can make them go bye bye if you don't like them!
This is a beautiful shawl. I'm trying to find a present shape that doesn't stard with a confusing gater tab. I've heard that people say on shalls merino wool isn't a good yarn for a good drape. So they suggest the yarn have. Larger content of bamboo, silk, cashmere so it drapes better and they said holds blocked shape better/longer. I'd love you option #BarbaraBenson because you design such georgous shawls. This is my second project. Thank you so much.
If you knit the yarn at the right gauge merino works beautifully for a shawl, but bamboo, silk and cashmere do indeed bring more drape to the party. Non-superwash merino blocks just fine but again, bringing in a little silk or bamboo will help lace hold better.
I saw one of your crescent shawl with lace on top with variegated blue. MAy I ask what brand and color, can you recommend a variegated blue soft cotton yarn. I can’t use wool it will be to warm for where I live and allergic to wool? Thanks❤
I don't really have a specific yarn recommendation for you, but have you seen this video? th-cam.com/video/i68hzCuHRmA/w-d-xo.html It's what to knit with if you are allergic to wool and it might be helpful?
There are several I would like to make. Isochronal Arcade is beautiful. Also at the top of my to do list are Quatrefoil Cap, Ves, and Fractured Helix. Your book is so much more than patterns though. The Getting Started and Techniques section are so helpful. I will be using your book as a reference tool.
I am so happy to hear that you are planning multiple projects. I tried really hard to try and make sure that there would be more than one project in the book that would appeal to a knitter. And thank you for the kind words about the instructional sections - it was a challenge to balance between informative and straight up boring! LOL.
I just purchased your mosiac and lace pattern book and am trying to knit the love child, I am having a problem fathoming the kfYO2b. where can I find a visual demonstration of this ?
This video has both kfYOb and kYOk in it and might be helpful. The only difference between kfYOb and kfYO2b is that you do two yarn overs instead of one. th-cam.com/video/kYtAU7nt-hA/w-d-xo.html
Hi Barbara, I'm knitting this shawl pattern , I love it!!!! What if I make mistakes, i un do it already twice. I'm stubborn!!!. Thank you for your teaching
Hi Barbara. I want to join your group. Trying still to understand Revelry, I'll look give link to find you. Tell me please is the knitted cast one tight, loose, icky, useful? I just learned it. Newbie as a knit person that's fibers not just nit knit, everything else fiber practically even Temari. Professionally I worked in polymer and metal clays for the past 30+ years, now coming big-time back to fiber. Its lighter.! Lol. Thanks so very much, hope to hear from you. You are really positive and happy quite honeestly I could use some (huge chunks) of that in my life right now.....
My Ravelry group is here: www.ravelry.com/groups/barbara-benson-designs and my FaceBook group is here: facebook.com/groups/147434382435705/ I can't wait to see you and welcome back to knitting!
A question for you, Barbara. I started knitting this and I find the top edge has no stretch. Is this how it should be or is there a way to incorporate a little more stretch through the top. Thanks.
You should not be able to pull the top edge straight. The way the pattern is designed the top edge pulls in so that it is concave, that is what gives it the curve. If you omit the slip stitch at the end of the row on the WS it will give a little more stretch, but then you will have less of a curve.
Thank you so much for your videos, I really enjoy watching them. Finally, I decided to knit Earthbound Misfit and now I have a little question - can I substitute recommended yarn with the Scrumptious lace (Fyberspates), but with more repeats of the patterns?
The pattern is very flexible so I would say yes, you can substitute - but I don't know what kind of yardage you will need. I would also say that if you are going to use beads you will probably want to use smaller beads - the 6/0s are probably too much for lace.
Hi! I am uncertain what yarn you are referring to. The mini shawl is in a lilac color and the yarn I am knitting with is gray. If you could clarify I'd be happy to try and answer!
so what happens if you don't increase on the wrong side, I guess you just won't get as deep a shawl then, I wonder how it would look if you don't add the extra in the back. I suppose there are a few ways to make these shawls. quite a few variations. You are amazing. Thank you. xoxox
I wanted to try this pattern. Since I'm new to knitting, I'd like to challenge myself to doing this. How many yarns have you used in knitting this in a full shawl?
I have not knit a full shawl using this pattern - just the tiny one. How big your shawl will come out is dependent on your needle size, yarn size, and how much yardage you use. What kind of yarn were you planning on?
hello mam, im a beginner in shawl knitting ...i like ur patterns ,they r just gorgeous .mam ,for shawl to keep it easy ,can i knit all the stitches in between the increases at both ends ..that is garter stitch body ...and i guess ,the body will have two row repeat then ...is it ... thanku so much mam ...i m waiting for ur reply ...and my yarn is dying to take the shape of this beautiful shawl ...
You can definitely knit this in garter stitch! These small shawl patterns are intended to be a jumping off point for knitters. I encourage playing with the pattern and it would look great in garter. I can't wait to see what you knit up!
Yes, the written out instructions are in the description text. The last line says: Repeat Rows 1 - 4 of body until the shawl is as large as you desire and then bind off using a stretchy method.
When you finish your knitting you will have a bunch of live stitches and if you pulled out your needles the knitting would unravel. You have to bind off (also can be called casting off) to close all of the live stitches. I have a video on the expandable lace bind-off here: th-cam.com/video/7uu_SkKmsug/w-d-xo.html

Just found you. So glad you are a continental knitter. I will try to make this as I am a crocheter first.
Have fun! You can do it!
Thank You for sharing this pattern. That was so generous of you. I’m going to give it a try. I like that it is deeper then any of the other asymmetrical shawls I have made.
I'm so glad you like it. It is a bit different than the classic "boomerang" shape. I like the added depth too.

WatchBarbaraKnit I got several patterns on Ravelry!
Pattern by Barbara!
you are the perfect knitting teacher....:)
I don't know about that, but I think that sometimes it is good to see that even the teacher takes 3 tries to make a purl stitch!
I absolutely loved practicing this miniature asymmetrical piece.. for me it was so much fun.
Tiny shawls are a blast to knit. I am glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Love the shape and simplicity of this shawl! I ordered your cheat sheet, and will start the pattern today. Thanks!
Fantastic!
Thank you Barbara, I finally learned how to knit this pattern
Fantastic! You go!
I love the way u knit the syawl.. I've made one for my niece.. N she loved it very much.. Thank you very much for the tutorial 😉😉
I am so glad that your niece liked the shawl! Keep on knitting!
Thanks alot for you.. I'll do it happily.. I love to learn knitting 😉
Cool pattern. I've been looking for a shawl pattern that's a bit more than just a standard triangle shawl but wouldn't be so much that I'd go nuts trying to knit it up, and this looks like a good one. Good tutorial. :)

Well, I have a lot of practice, but it really isn't too terribly difficult.
Awesome thanks you are a very good teacher love the way you explain the whole pattern

Vielen Dank, ich bin froh, dass dir das Video gefallen hat!
Going to try this because it doesn't seem quite so complicated and then go for the lacy one you created for me. I'm not the roundest cookie in the jar. Not giving up!!
Never give up! This one is pretty simple, although the plain crescent shaped one might give you a good starting point to work up to the lace crescent?
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us. I really like this with the seed stitch. Easy but lovely.
I didn't want to go all seed stitch because that drives some people nuts. But a wee bit is nice!
Muchas gracias Barbara por compartir este lindo chal me encanta recibe cariños desde Chile.Gracias.
Gracias

Another great video Barbara, thank you. Clear and simple instructions, love the samples. More on my to do list.
I like making lists longer! I'm glad you liked the video.
Beautiful shawl but I’m a crocheter. Do you have crochet patterns like this? ❤
I am afraid that I don't crochet beyond the basics and writing a crochet pattern is waaaaaay outside my skill set. Apologies.
So pretty!
I like it a lot!
Thank you!

Would this look better in a solid color or changing-color yarn?
It would look great in either.

Coolness! watching you knit has helped me so much, best regards !!!!!
That is wonderful to hear. I am all for improving ones skills. It's just yarn and we can do anything with it.
Hi Barbara, I'm knitting this shawl pattern , I love it!!!! What if I make mistakes, i un do it already twice.
I'm stubborn!!!. Thank you for your teaching
Well, everyone makes mistakes, it's up to you how to deal with them. You'll make fewer as you become used to the pattern!
Thank you so much 🌸🌸This Shawl shape beautiful! I am so excited to knit my own!!! 🌸 I appreciate the detailed information for this pattern 🌸
I'm so glad that you like it and I hope you have fun knitting one up!
Do I HAVE to use circular needles? Can I do this with regular straight needles?
Not really, unless you have really, really long straight needles. The rows get very long as the shawl gets bigger.
Great tutorial!
Thank you!

Your best bet is going to be to search Ravelry!
how ever did you add the lace..that is my crutch- gorgeous
Thank you! I am not certain what you are referring to as lace - the top edge?
I wanted to try this pattern. Since I'm new to knitting, I'd like to challenge myself to doing this.
How many yarns have you used in knitting this in a full shawl?
I have not knit a full shawl using this pattern - just the tiny one. How big your shawl will come out is dependent on your needle size, yarn size, and how much yardage you use. What kind of yarn were you planning on?
hello mam,
im a beginner in shawl knitting ...i like ur patterns ,they r just gorgeous .mam ,for shawl to keep it easy ,can i knit all the stitches in between the increases at both ends ..that is garter stitch body ...and i guess ,the body will have two row repeat then ...is it ...
thanku so much mam ...i m waiting for ur reply ...and my yarn is dying to take the shape of this beautiful shawl ...
You can definitely knit this in garter stitch! These small shawl patterns are intended to be a jumping off point for knitters. I encourage playing with the pattern and it would look great in garter. I can't wait to see what you knit up!
Irene Marie to continue Shaw do you just keep repeating last 4 rows.?
Yes, the written out instructions are in the description text. The last line says:
Repeat Rows 1 - 4 of body until the shawl is as large as you desire and then bind off using a stretchy method.
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure
Beautiful! Thank you!!
Glad you like it!
Very very nice 👍
Thank you!
Hi what do yo mean by bind off
When you finish your knitting you will have a bunch of live stitches and if you pulled out your needles the knitting would unravel. You have to bind off (also can be called casting off) to close all of the live stitches. I have a video on the expandable lace bind-off here: th-cam.com/video/7uu_SkKmsug/w-d-xo.html
Thankyou
Very good, I like it so much, its so beautifull, I do it in gray, I love it
Thank you honey
Gray is an awesome color. Have fun knitting!
LOVE!!! LOVE!!! LOVE!!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you!
I am a self taught knitting beginer and am wondering how to make a triangular shawl in lace. I knit only for dolls as they don't point out mistakes.😀
I haven't made a top down triangle video yet - I'll put it on the list.
I love it! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
Your amazing I love you videos
Awww, thank you so much!
