How do you knit a shawl?

Answer by  Gourmand (12)

The easiest kind of shawl to knit is a rectangular one, like a very thick scarf. Just cast on enough stitches for a 50cm wide rectangle. There are also lots of free patterns online, on knitting social networks such as Ravelry, or on the websites of the big yarn companies.

To knit a shawl you will need a pattern. You can find patterns in most knitting books, a good place to start is your local library. Patterns are also available online.
