Marly, I love the way you explain how to knit things on your videos. I'm more of a crocheter than a knitter but your videos have inspired me to start knitting things too.
Marley, thank you so much for your videos! I haven't really been knitting much lately, but watching your videos has me getting my needles back out and I am now working on this. I love simple and easy patterns that I don't have to think much about, and this is perfect. And your instructions make it so easy to follow! Thank you!
Awesome! My first attempt at a shawl and your instructions were so easy to follow and I just love your energy!! Bye for now...I have to knit until my desired length...then watch the next video!!
This is really great tutorial, thank you!! I altered it a little bit because I like the “braid like” smooth edge. So I did: First row: slip first stitch, Knit three, slip marker, Knit all to the last two, Increase, Purl. Second row: slip first stitch, Increase, Knit to the last two before marker, Decrease (knit two together), slip marker, Knit three, Purl. I love that this pattern is so easy to adjust!
I want to tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos. I have started this shawl for my granddaughter. I have another I am doing for myself. I struggle with patterns. It's like reading music, lol. I still can't do those, either. But I can watch and do. So thank you.
Marly,I just discovered you a few days ago! I just finished doing this lovely shawl. Had loads of fun. Thank you for clear instructions. I will try your other shawls. 😉 🆒
Wow! I'm fairly new to knitting, but even I understood your instructions. I enjoyed your easy going manner so much so that I subscribed to your channel! I love this shawl and I'm thinking about giving it a try. There are only so many wash cloths I can knit without going a tad crazy. Lol. Cute stitch markers too! I think I'll watch that video next.
Hi Marley and Happy Thanksgiving, i love your bias shawl video thank you so so much for showing us how do do it, i was just wondering though on one side of the shawl it looks like you've done what looks like a chain selvedge edge and was wondering how you did it
Must agree with the prior post, it's beautiful, and you are a wonderful teacher. I'm curious as to how this pattern would look in a solid color? I do believe I'm go to do a sample section to see if it will give the desired effect. I am thinking about a yarn for evening wear.
This was a great video, made this easy to do. I’m almost finished, my question is one end suppose to longer than the other? I used 3 skeins of yarn, i I added another one would that one end get longer like the beginning end?
Marly I love your videos . I think you are entertaining and personable. Your content is clear and easy to follow. My only complaint is I have a hard time finding the place to click on to get the pattern. I get so frustrated that I just give up. I wonder if this is a sneaky way to make sure I see all the ads. If this is not your intent please get a better web design. I watch your videos but hardly ever knit your designs. It makes me sad because I would like to participate in one of your knit alongs. They look like fun.
If I wanted to make it a garter stitch edge and the bias part to be stockinet would I simply alternate pearl stitches for every other row ( except for the four edge garter stitches)?
Wow combo😊 garter st and bias 😍. No pics or schematics of the finished shape on the pattern. Saw the XX note in the pattern. Is the shape like the isosceles crocheted shawl? I have some size 2 yarn I have in mind to use while I impatiently wait for the new red heart yarn to make its appearance out here in ABQ
Florence Kalma there is a crochet version of the bias shawl, i just found it and thought you would like the link so here you go hun th-cam.com/video/-b0uU_E_4A0/w-d-xo.html hope it helps you out :)
This is just what I am looking for but....how can I make this a neckerchief/kerchief size? Sadly I'm still pretty much basically a beginner at 5 yrs knitting :(
+Kathy Tincler you make the wingspan of the shawl as long as you wish if you were to use thinner yarn and followed the pattern you could make it more light weight.
www.marlybird.com/beginner-garter-stitch-bias-shawl-marly-bird/ the link to the pattern is under the published on section, along with other information.
i have knitted several sweaters, cowls, etc. but i never use garter stitch. no matter how many tutorials i watch, i don't have enough hands to fix a dropped garter stitch. stockinette is easy.
+Karan Odom the thing to remember when fixing garter stitch is this--one row the dropped stitch will be a purl, and on the next it will be knit. I teach more about this in the fixing mistakes video I did with my mom.
When you use a bias to knit, increasing on one side and decreasing on the other side, you create a different textured fabric. You might want to try this with a yarn you thought was stiff or not so great.
Thank you for your comment. My teaching style is to explain the why not just the how for making something I might not be the teacher for you, and that is okay, but I do hope you find someone that pleases you. - Marly Bird
This is such a fun and easy pattern..you can look at the work,and know exactly what row you are on..love .love it!..thank u!

I enjoy your videos. I've been crocheting since I was a kid in the70's, you're presentation is well done!
I have to get some courage to go ahead and try this pattern. I really appreciate you taking the time to show us the patterns.
It is so easy. Grab some self striping yarn and give it a try :-)
I want to tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos. I have started this shawl for my granddaughter. I have another I am doing for myself. I struggle with patterns. It's like reading music, lol. I still can't do those, either. But I can watch and do. So thank you.

Marly,I just discovered you a few days ago! I just finished doing this lovely shawl. Had loads of fun. Thank you for clear instructions. I will try your other shawls. 😉 🆒

+Karan Odom please note that it takes 3 skeins of yarn!
Wow! I'm fairly new to knitting, but even I understood your instructions. I enjoyed your easy going manner so much so that I subscribed to your channel!

+Linda Hutchinson it would be beautiful in a solid!
grazie grazie dall Italia. ..brava a spiegare continua così @Thanks
beautiful,
can you show us how to cro-tatting.
thanks
Great tutorial! Very clear instruction!
This was a great video, made this easy to do. I’m almost finished, my question is one end suppose to longer than the other? I used 3 skeins of yarn, i I added another one would that one end get longer like the beginning end?
Yes, it I’m understanding your question correctly
Marly Bird thank you. I’m not good at explaining.
Hey Marley, are you able to do a loom knit video for this patter
Marly, where can we find the second video? Have you posted it yet?
Do you have a line by line stitch count on this? I have to admit they help me! ❤️
Luann Wright How do I get the video?
Now that I know what I’m doing I can say we don’t need a line by line....this really is an easy pattern. Your bind of is cool also.
I can not find part 2....the bind off. (It's probably right under my nose) Thanx

Hi!. I love your work. Thank you very much. Regards 😍.
I couldn’t find the pattern. The link is apparently not working. Would you please advise where to find this great pattern? Thanks 😊
Thanks,,, for explain so well..
If I wanted to make it a garter stitch edge and the bias part to be stockinet would I simply alternate pearl stitches for every other row ( except for the four edge garter stitches)?
So awsome! Thank you
Muy bonito, ojalá pudieran traducir por favor

+Wendelyn Young sorry about that. It's 84" wide and 18" depth. You will make it to the desired wingspan.
HI Marley mom and I are going to knit this shawl but I went to your web site but can't find the pattern. Ps I am not great on a computer
Really pretty! Wish I could knit. Maybe you can duplicate this look in crochet. That would be awesome.
Florence Kalma there is a crochet version of the bias shawl, i just found it and thought you would like the link so here you go hun th-cam.com/video/-b0uU_E_4A0/w-d-xo.html hope it helps you out :)
Can this be done in a wool blend yarn?
This is just what I am looking for but....how can I make this a neckerchief/kerchief size? Sadly I'm still pretty much basically a beginner at 5 yrs knitting :(
+Kathy Tincler you make the wingspan of the shawl as long as you wish if you were to use thinner yarn and followed the pattern you could make it more light weight.
Thank you! :)
Thank you ❣️❣️❣️
