Pattern for a chunky warm xlarge shawl worked sideways, starting with 1 single stitch in the bottom ‘point’. The pattern is divided in 3 knitting parts : the first part is the increasing section, followed by the straight second part. In the third part stitches are decreased, ending with 1 stitch again. The shawl is finished with a lovely (optional) crochet border around the entire shawl. Fully written pattern, with small chart for the optional crochet border. This design is part of ‘Reasons to knit : part 1 : 1 stitch’. Great patterns for beginners and more advanced knitters who want to make a relaxing shawl design without stress. You start with 1 single stitch (so no casting on fuss) My shawl measures : 190cm/75in wide and 53cm/21in wide. Yarn : Durable Chunky, 100 % wol, 1 ball = 100g = 70m. Shade : Pebble. (5,5 balls needed) Knitting Needles : 12 mm (straight needles or circulars) Crochet hook: 10 mm Skill level : suitable for all skill levels -
Maya Shawl : a knitting pattern designed for everybody who wants to knit (or learn how to knit) in a fun and easy way. Maya Shawl is the first design in the collection : Reasons to knit : 1 (stitch) I love knitting, I really do. But I am not (yet) a very advanced knitter. My life is fun and very busy, and I just want knitting to be relaxing and enjoyable, but I expect great results
I am keen on learning new knitting skills, but not all at the same time, to keep the fun going.
I kept hearing the same things from a lot of people, they convinced me to to develop my new knitting patterns.
Reasons to knit : 1 is a small collection of 3 knitting designs, with 1 thing in common : the design starts with just 1 stitch. (so no casting on fuss, we will tackle this skill later).
Maya is the first design in this collection.
Starting with just 1 stitch, you knit and knit and knit (no purling !!!) and while you are having a wonderful time (or watch your favourite series on Netflix) your shawl gets shape and becomes larger.
When it is big enough, you simply bind off.
Want to make your shawl totally rock ? Add the optional crochet edging.
Fully written pattern, in English and Dutch, with a chart for the crochet border.
This design can be knitted on circular needles and on straight needles.
Yarn : you can use any yarn !
Ik made my sample shawls with :
- Maya Farbverlaufsgarn, 1 ball = 400g = 750 m (measurements of the shawl : 210cm/83,5in wingspan)
- Borgo de Pazzi Stout, 1 skein = 200g = 300m, I used 2,5 skeins – 750 m (measurements of the shawl : 230cm/91in wingspan)

(the beading is optional). Fully written pattern in English and Dutch. Several large charts are added. The shawl measures 140cm/56in wingspan. The pattern is not easily adjustable.
