This video started so much as a motivational speech that I wasn't expecting... and also taught me a nice pattern. It really made my day! Thank you!!! 😍
Thank you so much! ❤️
Absolutely amazing pattern with easy to follow instructions, I’m just waiting for the skeins to come in so I can order and get started. My wife fell in love with the colors in the video!
Awesome! We will have some more restocked soon! :)
You are such a fabulous teacher and I love, love, love your attitude! I have finally learned to knit thanks to watching your videos. They are so easy to follow along! Thank you!!!
Thank you! ❤️
Lovely pattern and your quick tutorial was very helpful, thank you 🙏💖
Love this pattern and can't wait to make it! Your videos are great - so inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it! ❤️
I love this pattern so much! It is easy to understand and what I love the most is I can use any yarn I choose! I love the idea of using many different colorways together!! :)
Yes, do what makes your heart sing! ❤️
Beautiful pattern and gorgeous yarn!! Thanks for always providing a tutorial for your new patterns! So appreciated! Now, I just have to finish my Free Spirit shawl!! Almost done! And I am exclusively knitting and crocheting YOUR patterns!! So many beautiful pieces to work up! So hard to choose!
That makes my heart full! ❤️
You are delightful. Very uplifting, and cheerful - just what we need . Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
I was looking for something special for my daughter’s wedding. Thank you!
You are welcome! Congrats on your daughter's wedding! ❤️
Just started making this shawl and the pattern is really a lot of fun, especially as someone new to lace knitting. Once I did a few rows I had the repeat committed to memory, so it’s interesting and fun enough not to be boring, but simple enough that I don’t have to constantly refer to a chart or pattern. Looking forward to the final result! Thanks!
That is exactly what we were going for. I'm so glad you are enjoying it! ❤️❤️
You are one fantastic young lady! You make this shawl ever so easy! Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher! Your shawls are absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much for those kind words!
@@ExpressionFiberArts You're welcome!
Wow so beautiful and simple 💖
Thank you! 😊
You showed up on my newsfeed, and I must say, you are absolutely adorable. I’m a lifetime crafter, 50 years, and I’ve never been successful at continental knitting. I’m a “thrower “, but watching how you use your fingers, I will try it again!
Yay! Thank you for the kind words. ❤️
I BLOOPING LOVE your tutorials! You are such a sweetie!
😂😂. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
How beautiful your designs are. A joy to watch. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much!
Looks fun and easy. Youre so sweet to share. I love your personality.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
Love all your patterns and your tutorials. You are such a beautiful soul and I could watch you all day. Keep up the good work.
You are so kind! I really appreciate you lovely compliments. ❤️
I LOVE this pattern! I made it for a friend who is having surgery using Caron Simply Soft Party, Teal Sparkle. It is so soft and drapey. And, it is the perfect pattern for binging old t.v. shows. I love it so much I am going to make another one for me! I never make myself anything.
Another beautiful pattern that is versatile and stylish... thank you!
Thank you! 😊
Wow, thank you for sharing this. It is super nice! I can't wait to try this one! Hope you have a wonderful New Year, and may God bless you!
Happy new year!
Such an easy pattern!! Absolutely love the Merak colourway and the palette shawl.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely palette of colors🌹Thank you! Graciela
Thank you, too!
I came here just for your voice. It's really warm and relax. Love ya~
Thank you! I love you too! ❤️
Thank you, for the pattern, the positivity, and the video closeups! This video (which I thought I didn't need) showed me that no, I'm not knitting my yarnovers too tightly - I was doing them backwards! Oops! Not sure where along the line I reversed them but now I know why my lace attempts have been less-than-impressive! LOL (And NimbleNeedles has a video that clarified for me that reverse yarnovers don't make eyelets.) I'm only maybe 3" into this shawl but I think I might leave it as is at least long enough to get some pictures to show the difference.
My pleasure! I'm glad you figured it out. 💕
@@ExpressionFiberArts me too! And watching you do it is what lit the light bulb. Then I started searching for "yarn over direction" info. And ice done a few more rows and they look so cool now (like they're supposed to lol)
I could watch you knit all day :) Bloop, bloop ! This shawl recipe is gorgeous. It will be my favorite , I can tell :)) Thank you! Bloop, bloop!
You are so kind! Thank you!
I don’t know which thing I like most. Is it the vibrant blue colour or the texture. Is it the style you talk- your inspiring & encouraging nice communication skills or the under current within your soul. Let it be anything but I Iove love love to see you & your voice & your videos. This is 3/4 th time I am watching your video. Thanks. I am Mala of 75.
Thank you so much, Mala! 💙
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! 💕
Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern.
I finished my Palette shawl, so fun and easy, I'm going to make another one for a gift!
Wonderful! I'm so happy to hear that!
I love the shawl, her hair, her dress, her lipstick
Thank you! 😊

You are a prolific and very talented designer. Your library of patterns is amazing. I make prayer shawls, hats and more for donation. Thank you for offering so many beautiful patterns, and for giving great tutorials. Def will follow your channel and website to see your future designs. Have a great weekend.
Thank you so much! You have a lovely weekend as well. 🤗
Chandi cherry videos make me want to make everything. I bet shes a size 1. It would take me twice as long to copy her creations. Elegant! She gives great advice. Too cute as well. 💐🙏
Thanks for the lovely compliment! 😍
I can’t wait to try this pattern! Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge!
You are so welcome!
Another beautiful pattern!!! I hope Dorian isn't effecting you too much, and you are safe! My family in NC says they are in flood danger. They are 'hunkered' down and waiting it out. Thank You for all you do!
I hope your family is safe. ❤️ We are great over here. Thanks for checking on us. 😘😘
So far they are fine, thanks!!
❤️❤️
Thank you, sweetheart 🤗💕🧡👍🌎 This pattern is stunning & truly helps use up extra yarn in our stash. Your channel is a gem. Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend. Xxx
Thank you! I hope you have an amazing weekend!
I'm so thrilled that you gave a tutorial on this beautiful pattern! It's my favorite!
Woohoo! Thanks!
Thank you for making this so easy, ive only been knitting now for 9 months, taught myself off youtube videos and i must admit yours are so easy to follow. Im currently knitting this one as i speak. Love it thank you.
Wonderful! I'm so glad you are enjoying it! ❤️
@@ExpressionFiberArts I do have a question, im following the instructions, but in your video it shows the end product is at a gradient, but i dont see how to achieve that in the instructions. Am i just not seeing it? Thank you for your help
@@roelenecarleton2550 We do that by using switching the yarn as we work the project. Each of the skeins in the kit are dyed so that the finished color of your project will be a gradient. So, you knit a fifth of the shawl with color 1, break it off, knit another fifth with color 2 and so on. I hope this was helpful. :)
@@ExpressionFiberArts aw i get it, im using one colour, would that make a difference then? Thank you so much for explaining this to me. :)
@@roelenecarleton2550 No problem. If you are using one color, the shawl will be one single color.
Thank you so much for the written pattern! I love it! Can't wait to make it! 💕
I'm so glad you like it! ❤️

Love the shades of blue!
Thank you so much!
Definitely adding this to my list of items to make. Beautiful!
Yay! Thank you!
I’m a frustrated knitter. I knitted briefly in my 20s but gave it up when I had children. Tried to pick it up later but my vision wasn’t good. I’m going to try this shawl. I like your tutorial as I can actually SEE your hands and how you do this. I need to use up the stash I bought intending to crochet a log cabin Afghan.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I wish you well on your journey. ❤️
Hallelujah no purling!!! Cannot wait to start this project. Gorgeous, just like you Chandi😉
Actually Row 3 does have purling!
I'm so glad you like it! ❤️
I'm so hyped to try this! I have a question though, I have no idea how many rows or how long I want it. I have never tried something this big (or anything like this) and I'm lost. How many rows and stitches
would you recommend? Thank you for making this video!
Our was 20 inches by 60 inches and we cast on 120. I hope this helps a little.
I have never knitted anything i crochet but I always wanted to learn i have actually knitted something because of you. It's not great and it's not really pretty but I'm proud of it. Thanks
I'm so glad you knitted something! You should be proud that you took the steps to learn something new and you accomplished it! Well done! ❤️
Love the shawl! Thank you.
You are welcome!
Another beautiful work of art. Thanks
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hi Chandi. totally in love with the pattern. making this as my next project. right now i am making your "Boyfriend Beanie" for my husband. thanks for all the inspiration and making lace approachable to a beginner like me. thank you!
I'm so glad you like the pattern. I hope you enjoy this knit. ❤️
Thank you so much.Nice & easy pattern.I love it.
You are welcome 😊
Such a beautiful pattern! Can’t wait, cause I do have some Hanks left to spin into balls that I have no idea what to do with. I was in a sleepy trance watching you work this too. 😂😂🤣🤣
😂😂 I love it!
So beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
So pretty
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern. How much yarn is needed for the shawl please ?
Hi Lisa, thank you for your question. The shawl uses about 1000 yards. Have a nice week! 💕
This pattern is so beautiful! I just started by casting on 120 stitches, what should my stitch count be at the ends of rows 2 and 3?
Have you downloaded the full written instructions of this pattern yet? You can find it here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/palette.html
The pattern is worked on the bias but your stitch stays the same throughout the project, so you should have 120 sts in row 2 and row 3.
I hope this helps. Have a great day! 🧡
Hi Chandi, thank you so much for the amazing video with lovely clear instructions, I have just finished doing one and absolutely love it, thank you. I attempted to make a matching ear warmer on circular needles by illiminating the edges stitches of the pattern, but it's turned out nice but not a true copy of the shawl, is there any possibility of you could tell me how to adapt the pattern for a ear warmer/headband. Thank you again 🥰
Hi Caroline, thanks for your message. I'll do my best to help. I'd actually work it very similar to the shawl but do a provisional CO and cast on 12 stitches to make it approximately 2 inches wide. Once it's long enough to fit your head connect your live stitches with the provisional CO via Kitchener Stitch. No need to work in the round. I hope this makes sense. Have a lovely day! 💜
@@ExpressionFiberArts Hi chandi, thank you so much for your reply. I will give that a go, thank you 💖
Dank u wel voor het geweldige patroon,met succes gedownload.gr.Carla.
Thanks, very helpful info. 🌼🌺🌸 I have SOooooo many stash💃🏻Thanks again 🌹
You are so welcome! I hope you enjoy!
Thanks Chandi....I love this pattern!! I plan to make this in a lace weight😍
That will be beautiful!
Hermoso todos los tejidos que haces, te entiendo todo, enseñas muy bien. Gracias linda, saludos desde Chile.
Thank you so much!
I love this pattern. I'm just wondering if you have a pattern in this shape available for crochet?
Try Doradus: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/doradus.html or Palometa: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/palometa.html
BRAVO ! beautiful work , really happy to join your channel :)
Thank you!
Colors are beautiful 💚
Hey Chandi very beautiful blues & love that simple lacy pattern would also like to see a wrap in a regular rectangle with a simple lace pattern 🙏💖💖 I hope you don’t think I’m asking too much but I would just love to do one that is rectangular thanks. For all your instructions & knowledge sharing 🙏🙏🙏😁💕
You are definitely not asking too much. We will have something similar to that coming soon. ❤️
This is one of my favs by you!!!! I have started this wrap twice and put it down. Well no more. I am Gaga for gradient and will complete it!
Yay! You've got this! ❤️❤️😘😘
❤️
This is super cute!
Thanks! 🤗
Cannot wait to try pattern. Thank you!
Hope you like it!
I tried to find the palette pattern on expression fiber arts but frankly could not find it... can you help me please???? I live in Quebec, love the shawls you show on RUclips.
Here you go: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/palette.html
I'm a crocheter (is there such a word?) and have been trying to pick up knitting. Always end up w unfinished projects. Tried hard to learn continental knitting but I can't manage the tension while having to hold the stick and stitch at the same time! Crocheting doesn't require my left hand to manage so many things! I love all your patterns. Am gonna try this one. Wish me all the best and to persevere to the end..
How do I know long a tail I need to use in order to cast any number of stitches? In your example you casted 120 stitches, how many inches of the tail did you pull out?
Thanks Chandi!
That's a great question! I typically use 1 inch per stitch for the tail. Hope this helps!
@@ExpressionFiberArts Thanks Chandi! Yes, very helpful.
I absolutely adore the colors of MERAK HUES SPARKLE DK, but its way too expensive for me. I really love this project, so maybe someday I find some yarn that will do too and make one myself :) Thank you!
You are welcome!
You are wonderful and exciting to learn from Thank You
Beautiful... like a model!!!
I'm so glad you like it!
does it make a difference if I use the regular knitting needles verses if I use the kind that were used in this video?
You can also straight needles for this shawl. ❤️
Love your tutorials❤️💙
Thank you. I appreciate it! ❤️
aww so creative
🙏🏻☺️
Ooh! Those blues!
😍
Love this going to start today 💛💚❤️
Have fun!
I am excited to try this!!!!
Hope you like it!
Que hermosa prenda maestra me gusta me gusta gracias gracias por compartir sus bonitos proyectos saludos desde Monterrey. .. Saludos!!!!!
Thank you so much for the compliment. ❤️
Great tutorial, beautiful shawl. I have struggled with YO now it looks easy, thank you!!
You've got this! ❤️❤️
Love your knit videos. Do you have this in a crochet version? 🙏🏻
We don't have a crochet version of this pattern. You can try this twist pattern www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/twist.html and modify it a little to create something like this shawl. Just make it wider and don't seam it and you will have a look that is similar to the palette shawl.
Really pretty and I love the shape❤️
Thanks so much sweet one! ❤️
I discovered your videos a couple of days ago while I was looking for shawls to find a beginner one that I feel like I can do without being intimidated by it. This pattern is something I've already done in knitting dishcloths (knit, yarn over, knit 2 together) This will be my first shawl. Your video and the written pattern (I have yet to graduate to charts yet) makes this new project a lot less daunting to me. Thank you for doing this video and showing beginning knitters that knitting a gorgeous shawl pattern doesn't have to be unattainable.
My pleasure and I'm so glad you found us. 🩵
Looks lovely
Thank you so much!
Hello Chandi! Tq for this tutorial. May I know whether the 20 stitches cast on determine the width of the shawl. I am thinking of using other yarn and need to make some calculations. You look so gorgeous! Tq. Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Yes, the cast on number of stitches determine the width of the shawl. We started with 120 stitches. ❤️
Hello again Chandi! I really appreciate your easy knit patterns for shawls, but wow!!... That is a lot of stitches to put on the needles! Is this the only amount to put on for this shawl, or is there an alternative? Could you let me know? I understand that you cast on multiples of 4 though. Thank you again! You're a very nice and wonderful teacher, and delightful!
Yes, you can do any multiple of 4 and that would work. If you want it a little thinner, you could cast on something like 80 and see how that works for you. ❤️
@@ExpressionFiberArts Thank you very much!
Hi. Downloaded your pattern. Thanks for posting it. I haven’t mastered using circular needles and I know they’re best for long pieces like this shawl but your pattern shows #8 US needles. Can I assume I can use straight needles as long as they’re long enough? I have 14 inch straights. If ok to use by how much would you shorten the cast on stitches ? Down to 60 or 80 or can I do the full 120? Also can you talk about joining yarn methods? Thanks.
Yes, if your straights are long enough, you can definitely do this pattern. You can shorten the cast on by multiples of 4, which would make the pattern thinner. We do have a video on how to do the Russian join here: ruclips.net/video/9Axj8DIr1LQ/видео.html But we can certainly do a video on joining methods. Thanks for all of the insightful questions.
Love this one also. Do you have a shop in Charlotte where I can buy yarn or do I need to get your yarn from your online shop? Thanks for another beautiful scarf pattern.😊❤️
Thank you so much! We sell strictly online. Our workspace in Charlotte is simply for shipping and receiving . Thank you for checking! 💕💕
I just happened onto your video, first of all you are so uplifting comments it made my evening. I do have one question though the 120 stitches you cast on do they increase as you go or does the pattern stay the same 130 stitches throughout?
Thank you for the kind words! They stay the same throughout the pattern. ☺️
Hi, having trouble making this. My ends look different. I added more co because I want it to be at least 32” approx. from neck to lower back. Maybe it doesn’t work fur 180 or 186 cast on? Any advice? I still want to make one but I switched to the mother of pearl pattern.
You have a very nice style and explain very nice...thank you.
Thanks!
Hi Chandi thank you so much fir this Gorgeous shawl 😍
How can I purchase more of the same color of yarn I ordered before to finish this project. I can’t find the same color anymore at your shop! 🤭
We will have to get some more dyed up soon. Put your e-mail address at this link and we will notify you when more of that color is back in stock: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/merak-hues-sparkle-dk.html
