This shawl knitting pattern is a basic rectangle pattern which you can modify to any pattern stitch or size you want. There are lots of basic shapes for shawls and wraps, but most people start out with a rectangle. However, just because you choose to make a piece with a basic shape doesn’t mean that it’s boring.

This shawl is a simple, nice and stretchy addition to your wardrobe. You can make one with a colored or multicolored yarn and a nice pattern with a lot of stretch. I recommend using a cotton blend as it’s flexible enough to be used for casual or fancy occasions. The ribbon running through the piece makes it interesting to look at and fun to wear.

When I used to work in offices I’m always cold, so I am always fond of a good wrap. There’s always a shawl that can easily fit the style of just about anyone. You can modify this piece to perfectly suit your unique taste.

1. Approximately 1,000 yards of medium weight acrylic blend/cotton blend of your choice.

2. A pair of size 7 knitting needles

3. Yarn needle

4. Scissors

Gauge:

20 rows for every 4 inches and 24 stitches in ribbing.

Size:

The finished piece is 60 inches long and 20 inches wide. The material is very stretchy.

Let’s start!

1. Begin by casting on 120 stitches.

2. Knit in knit two, purl two ribbing until the project measures about 60 inches.

3. Bind off the piece.

4. Cut yarn and don’t forget to weave in ends.
