Prairie Knit Shawl Pattern

Embrace that prairie style! This free knit shawl pattern can be worn looped around like a scarf or draped like a traditional shawl. The eyelets created by this pattern are so pretty, and the edging is simply charming. The blue yarn used for this pattern is so fitting for the prairie! Pair this shawl with a lacy top and a denim jacket for that girly, farm-girl flair. Boots with fringe and your favorite pair of jeans really complete this outfit. Imagine sitting on the porch with this shawl draped around your shoulders, taking the world in. This is a beautiful project to make and to wear!

This is a knit on edging and you will do it all the way around the edge of the shawl, for the last stitch of the edging, you will always be using one edging stitch and one stitch from the shawl together, in order to join the edging to the shawl.

Can't wait to start this shawl! This one I just might keep for myself, but then, it would be nice for a prayer shawl too!

I like knitting with finer yarns, but I was gifted a bag of yarn in worsted weight that would work beautifully for this shawl!

Most of what I make is for babies and small children, so my go to yarns have always been polyester worsteds, and have always loved the premier yarns, as they are perfect for the projects I make!

love the shawl and will try it I have a TIP for you to pass along to all crafters PUT A COPY OF THE PATTERN YOU INTEND TO MAKE IN WITH THE YARN YOU BUY THEN IF BY SOME UNFORTUNATE FATE SOMEONE ELSE IS USING THE WOOL THEY WILL HAVE SOME IDEA OF HOW TO FINISH THE PROJECT my mom left me unfinished projects and no idea where to find the patterns and the amount and content of yarn in the balls ie grams or a lot of mom's stash does not have labels so I have no idea what the content is but it was all still in the individual bags that she sorted them into I would love to be able to ask her I love to feel and work with the yarns she so lovingly picked out over the years And for all the comments about not being…Read More able to knit go to you tube they will take you through each stitch step by step there is a whole new world waiting for you

I don't have a favorite yarn, but would love to try this one. However, I can't find it even mentioned anywhere. Not even on the Premier Yarn website.

Hi there! I just checked and you're not kidding---you can't find the Rodeo yarn anywhere yet! I looked into it and it turns out the Rodeo yarn comes out sometime this spring 2018! Stay tuned!

I really like the smoothness of Bernat Satin and because it doesn't pill as easy as some do. I also like Lion Brand Vannas Choice for it substantial density. In all honesty I usually end up buying which ever has the color and gauge I need.

I am a knitter in the UK. I love to knit and mostly use aran weight yarns with a little wool so they can be washed and tumble dried. But I recently knitted a beautiful hoodie for my nephew using a Vogue With Love boucle yarn. It was soft and silky, which made knitting easy and quick. He was totally thrilled with his soft, cuddly hoodie and uses it as a comfort blanket. I will always look for new textures, colours and experiences when choosing yarns from now on.

I use a lot of Caron yarns. I do love to try new yarns. I so wish this pattern was for crochet, as I do not knit and would love to make this shawl!
