Instructions
Step 1
For a shawl, it is best to take high-quality yarn, since it will both last longer and be more pleasant to the body. It is optimal that the yarn contains one of these fibers: mohair, goat down, alpaca, cashmere or angora. Even better is their combination. Mohair is divided into ordinary, kid-mohair and super-kid, that is, the wool of very small kids. This fiber is so pleasant to the touch that you will never want to remove it. Mohair, unlike angora, practically does not leave lint on clothes. Cashmere is also great for a shawl, but its price scares off many. Goat down is amazingly warm, but it prickles a little. Alpaca is a wonderful long-lasting fiber, but it is also quite prickly.
Step 2
Currently, there are practically no problems with the choice of color. The showcases show the entire palette of colors and shades. But not all are suitable for a shawl, since too bright a shawl will not be in harmony with all clothes. If you knit a red shawl, it will not look with a burgundy suit, a green skirt, yellowish and sandy tones, as well as purple. Red goes well with black, white and beige. So, it is better to knit a shawl in neutral shades - white, gray or cream.
Step 3
The yarn and color have been selected, let's move on to the pattern. A too openwork shawl does not always decorate clothes, and especially a strict suit. The shawl should be spectacular, highlighting the dignity of your clothes. You can choose a pattern like these: https://webposidelki.ru/VsUz.htm. The pattern repeat should be repeated, and tassels from the same yarn can be tied to the ends of the shawl. Everyone chooses the size of the shawl for himself, but the standard knitting is 1 meter by 1 meter. Knitting needles for shawls are suitable for numbers 4, 5, 6, but preferably circular. Remember, too tight a pattern can ruin a beautiful knit
Step 4
It's easy to start knitting: dial the required number of loops. For a shawl, this is at least 200 loops. Immediately start repeating the pattern repeat and so on until the end. No additions or subtractions.
