Beginner's Guide to Knitting a Top Down Triangle Shawl

How to knit a top-down Triangle Shawl - with any yarn! A top-down triangle shawl is easy to knit once you understand some basic rules about the construction. Start by casting on nine stitches with a Garter Tab cast on. Then work the following rows: Set-up row: K3, pm, inc, k1, inc, pm, k1, pm, in, k1, inc, pm, k3. Row 1 (and all WS rows): Knit to end, slipping markers as you come to them (this creates a Garter stitch shawl body). Row 2 (and all RS rows): K3, sm, inc, knit to marker, inc, sm, k1, sm, inc, knit to marker, inc, sm, k3. Repeat these two rows for a basic Garter stitch shawl and use a basic, stretchy bind-off when you're done. It really is that simple! We'll go over all of the details and more as we walk through each step of the top-down triangle shawl construction. #nerdyknitting #knittingtutorial #shawlknitting Get your free Top-Down Triangle Shawl printable instructions here: https://toniaknits.com/library/ 🥰 Support Nerdy Knitting: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/nerdykni...
