Love this pattern and use it a lot. The double gradient is beautiful! FYI I prefer a stretchy bind off because it keeps all three sides equal. My favorite bind off is k2tog, slip that stitch back onto the left needle then k2tog, and repeat.
I forgot to include k2tog tbl in the easy, stretchy bind off. K2 together through the back loop, slip that stitch back on to the left needle then repeat k2togtbl.
What a wonderful teacher. Really really exceptional tutorial and such a lovely scarf. Have to do it, Need to do it, Want to do it, Can't wait to do it. 🎀💐🌹🌺💖
I really appreciated this video, I am now legally blind. I learn to knit when I was younger when I had good vision. She verbalizes so well that I feel that I can follow this pattern., Thank you very much for what you were doing, I’m going to try this next…
Thank you so much.....no idea how handy this is for me right now. I need to distract my mind and make something pretty. This is the perfect blend of pretty, practical and easy to execute. 👌👍
- Great! I’m not so good at knitting, but I want to make this shawl. Just have to get some yarn for it, plus a set of knitting needles. I usually crochet. I didn’t knit or crochet for about 25 years, started again some years ago. So much has happened with krocheting and knitting in these years! And RUclips tutorials are so great to watch and then make the project. I’m in Heaven... 😃 /Lisbeth from Sweden 🇸🇪
I have to say that I wouldn’t have picked those two colors to put together but boy they make a beautiful color combination. Great pattern choice to showcase those two gradient yarn colors. Your pretty shawl is so cheerful and fresh. Thank you for making these tutorials. ☺️👍🏻
Thanks for sharing your idea with this pattern. I was thinking of using Lion Brand Mandala, a #3 weight yarn, two strands held together and using a smaller needle, as another use of the pattern. thanks again. will follow on insta:)
I have just completed my second of this pattern. Thank you for the tutorial on this technique of increasing and decreasing for the shape to be achieved. I used Lion Brand Landscapes on the first in two contrasting color blends...Volcano (rich deep reds/purples/rust/blues) and Blue Lagoon (deep rich blues/greens). The yarn in those colors created a really artsy piece in gorgeous bright colors that I always steer away from in my wardrobe. The Shawl will bring in a hyper-dose of color to my winter outfits. The bind off was too tight even though I really was conscious of my tension while binding off. My completed length was approx 70 inches using the two skeins in totality on us 8 needles. The second that I just finished now, I chose a different take on yarn colors and tried a different bind off. I selected two cakes from my treasured stash of Caron Latte Cakes in the Blueberry colorway on size 13 needles. I made certain to select two cakes that began with different shades in the variations of blues. What it created was a very tonal version that is quite pleasing to the eye and more subdued for days when one feels less adventuresome with colors. I used 80 grams from each cake (approx 176 yards x 2), leaving enough for two more scarves from those cakes. It left me with 84 inches along the top so it is very generous and fluffy. I might even try this once more with even larger needles for something even larger and more airy to be able to wrap it several times for the coldest days. I recommend the bind off I used on the second one...no tightness at all...as stretchy as the rest of the garter stitch scarf/shawl. I began my cast off row by knitting first stitch and second stitch. With 2 stitches on my right needle I knit those 2 stitches through the back loop by inserting my left needle in front of right needle from left to right, and complete knit stitch. Knit the next stitch from the left needle and knit through the back loop again on the 2 stitches on the right needle. To give credit where due, I learned this bind off technique from Very Pink here on YT. I believe her tutorial title is Very Stretchy Bind Off. It worked very well for this application. Thanks again, this is an easy to use pattern when one needs to be able to knit on “cruise control”. I will keep it my “go to” projects.
Just casting off this project ATM. used Red Heart's Unforgettable, they contrasted so nicely! And the ombre effect worked very nicely with this pattern, thank you!
Your color choices in this shawl turned out so beautiful. I would never have expected that and honestly probably would have never chosen those two to go together in a project. This video in particular, specifically your colorway choices in this project, came to mind recently when I was choosing yarn for an afghan I'm making soon. I was a bit more daring than I normally would have been. Medium smoke grey, plum variegated, and butter yellow yarn ended up in my cart and I'm so excited to get started on this. Thanks for your inspiration in being a bit more adventurous with my color choices.
This is such an amazing yet simple pattern. It can be a base for many colour combinations and patterns. This is definitely giving me a lot of ideas. Thank you for such clear and easy to follow instructions. Love it.
I think I will try this. This design is what I have been looking for and thank goodness I can source this yarn from Australia. Thank you for sharing this video.
This was just what I was looking for you create my first knit shawl. I'm using Mandala Tweed, and it's turning out super cool. I'm using two cakes starting at different parts of the color sequence. (They actually seem to be completely different, which is also super cool.) Thank you for this tutorial!
This is so cool. Would have never thought of mixing two self striping yarns like this! I’ve crocheted a couple of your crochet patterns, but you have put me in the mood to get my knitting needles out!
I think something may be wrong with my video feed. I don’t see when/where/how you start decrease. I am a knit newbie and I love how well you explain and how calm your voice is. Thank you.
Hi Bonnie. The decreases are part of the shawl rows all along. The combination of increases and decreases is what causes the shape of the shawl to curve. Perhaps the written instructions might help: yayforyarn.com/double-gradient-boomerang-shawl-free-knitting-pattern/
I knitted this shawl recently. I really, really love it. Thank you so much for your instruction and inspiration. 2:08 Btw I used the same yarn and color.
Thank you so very much for doing this video. I have some really nice fingering yarn and will use your pattern. Nice of you to make a helpful video. Thank you very much. Love this.
why do you love/ like to knit? im curious because for me its a drug..I love it so much. it actually kind of impedes my life. I need to find a way to make a career from this. so obsessed with anything 'knitty' lol. thank you.
Hi! I love to knit because I just like to be creative. With knitting, I can play with color, texture, style, and squishy yarn! Knitting is just one of the creative outlets I enjoy. I also love crocheting, sewing, baking, doodling, and quilting. (Especially free-motion quilting!) I have also dabbled in cross stitch, embroidery, sculpting polymer clay, paper-crafting, and jewelry-making. I find anything crafty or creative to be relaxing and fun, and I love any opportunity to make something unique!
It's beautiful, I ve knitted a few shawls using this technique but they turned out smaller than I anticipated. How many stitches did you have when binding off? Thanks in advance. ❤
Hi. I don't know how many stitches I had, but I do know that my bind off edge was nearly 40" long. The "wingspan" of my shawl was 84" long. I hope this helps!
In reference to the "gap" i mentioned in my last comment, I've tried leaving the old color hanging off to the right and just knittig with the new color. The "gap" is then in the back, and less visible. Does this make sense??
I am also wondering about the number of stitches you ended up with? The reason is that I want to start at the other end instead so it would be good to know approximately how many I might need to start with :) Great tut and wonderful colours!
Hi! I finished with about 150 stitches, and my bind-off edge measured about 40" long. This will vary greatly, depending on the thickness of the yarn you are using and your gauge. I would suggest casting on an odd number of stitches until your cast-on edge is about 40" long, instead of going by the exact number of stitches I had. I would not recommend working this backwards unless you are sure you have more than enough yarn, though. Mine was started at the small end, and worked until I was just about out of yarn. If you start at the large end and work towards the small end, and you don't have extra yarn just in case, you could run out of yarn before you make it down to the small tip of the shawl. Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot for your replies ad the tips! :) I think there's a possibility to start at the big end if one changes the pattern a bit, say have a large section of one colour, then a big one with stripes and so on and ofc use matching colours. I have so much yarn at home lol! Have a great day!
I love the look of this combination, never would have picked up these two colours myself. Has anybody tried different Bernat Pop colours, how does it turn out ? Any pictures ?
Hi! I haven't tried any other color combos yet, but I have seen some others use different colors of this yarn. Here are a few photos of people's projects from this pattern: instagram.com/explore/tags/doublegradientboomerangshawl/ Here's a bunch more projects on Ravelry: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/double-gradient-boomerang-shawl/people On Ravelry, you can even filter the projects so it will only show the ones made from Bernat Pop. Hope this helps!
I love the pattern but I don't understand how when you start with 5 stitches then keep increasing until you get to the length you want its not 5 stitches at the other end. Please could you explain how this happens. I'm looking forward to knitting it, I have the yarn but just need your or anyone's help, please.
Hi Marie. If you look at the photo in this post of the shawl laying flat, yayforyarn.com/double-gradient-boomerang-shawl-free-knitting-pattern/ you can see the direction the stripes go. The stripes make it easier to see how the shawl is constructed. The cast on corner is at the right, and the bind off edge is the edge that runs from the center point of the shawl to the left corner. I hope this helps!
Hi Rosita! You can do this with 2 skeins of the same color. However, to make sure you don't end up with the same colors overlapping, I would suggest using the center-pull end of one skein and the outside end of the second skein. So you would start with the first color of one skein and the last color of the second skein. This would give a similar look as if you were using two colorways. Otherwise, if you begin with the same end of both skeins, you won't get the double-gradient effect. You will just get sections of solid colors as if you were only using one skein. Hope this helps!
Hi Lynne! Since each stripe is worked over two garter stitch rows, you always switch colors on the same edge of the work. The pattern alternates two rows of one yarn, then two rows of the other yarn. So when you work two rows in one yarn, the other yarn skips those two rows on the color-changing edge. Then, when you switch yarns, the opposite yarn skips two rows on the edge. So the yarns are automatically carried along the edge neatly when they are not being used. This does show a little bit on the edge of the work, but it is neat and inconspicuous. I hope this helps!
You certainly do have a very pleasant voice, and you seem to be a very nice person! You did a very beautiful job on your shawl...where did you learn to do that?! I knit, but I haven't gotten anywhere yet. Do you also crochet?
Thank you, Patrice! I learned basic knitting and other knitting techniques from various books, from working on knitting projects, experimenting, and etc. The Double Gradient technique was something I made up while trying to design something with gradient yarn in my stash. I do crochet as well. I am not an expert at either, and I'm still learning, but I enjoy trying to create original designs. I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching!
@@YayForYarn I did enjoy the video, but as I was trying to make this, somehow it didn't come out right! I did everything that you showed on the video, but my stitches aren't coming out right--what am I doing wrong?
Hi! I would not be able to tell what the problem is without more information. Is it the shape that doesn't look right, or the individual stitches? If you send me a message on facebook (facebook.com/YayForYarnByMGG) or an email (blogger@yayforyarn.com) with a photo of your work, I would be better able to figure out what is wrong and help you out. Thanks!
@@YayForYarn Thank you for your reply, only one problem--I don't have Facebook. Sorry about that. Update: I have gotten the hang of it now. Everything is going good. My boomerang shawl is looking good thanks to your wonderful video!
Hi. The decrease stitch at the end of row 1 is a knit 2 together, abbreviated K2tog. This is done by knitting through 2 stitches at once, by inserting the needle through 2 stitches instead of 1, and then pulling a new loop of yarn through both stitches as though you were making a regular knit stitch. I hope this helps!
Hi do you have s vidro for yarn inspirstions demim side by dide short row side by dide v shale hawl? BUT hopefully with the wrsp snd turns done ptoperly? I thought I recalled one but can't find it. Its not cowl blice sock or a hat PLEASE. Could you please do a shawl, scarf, or wrap something flat with short rows done propetly and closing them at end with no holes to deal and vlose all of them all up, please. You taught me to be a confident contintel knitter from my mistake ridden English style. Amaxzing, Honesyly you helped my knitting go from beginner to almost intermediate. Any suggedtions on a good order to learn the skills needed so no pattern frightens me? A good book to follow long with? I still need to learn the linen stitch, seed stitch, short rows, and broiche, as my goals along with all the skills I pick up with every pattern. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Hi Trudy! I'm so glad my videos have been helpful to you. If you're looking for a good knitting book, I recommend this one: amzn.to/2jIUUft It covers many techniques, beginning at the basics and working up to more intermediate stitch patterns. It does have a section on short rows, shows a little about continental knitting, and even covers troubleshooting and fixing mistakes. It does cover everything in a consecutive order, so you can just go through the techniques in the order they are given. I don't think it has a section on Brioche, but the Brioche method is a bit more complex. So it would be good to go through the book first before venturing into Brioche. For now, you might try my shortcut Brioche method, which produces the same type of fabric, but is pretty simple to work. ruclips.net/p/PLmcTBVSjUYHHk1Kq1BRr4boJpU9aZq0Py I hope this helps!
I appreciate learning your last tip of the bind off.
Love this pattern and use it a lot.
The double gradient is beautiful!
FYI I prefer a stretchy bind off because it keeps all three sides equal.
My favorite bind off is k2tog, slip that stitch back onto the left needle then k2tog, and repeat.
I forgot to include k2tog tbl in the easy, stretchy bind off.

I hear you, Lisbeth! My grandmother taught me when I was 10, picked it up again @ 52.
I stopped crocheting for over 20 years... picked it back up around 48! I wish I could knit.....

It's beautiful, I ve knitted a few shawls using this technique but they turned out smaller than I anticipated.
How many stitches did you have when binding off?
Thanks in advance. ❤
Hi. I don't know how many stitches I had, but I do know that my bind off edge was nearly 40" long. The "wingspan" of my shawl was 84" long. I hope this helps!

When i switch to the new yarn and put the new color over the old, it leaves a gap at the edge. That doesn't seem to happen in your video.
The same happens to me.
Hi!! Am new to knitting. Do I need 2 different colors to make this project or can I use only 2 skeins of the same color? Thanks love your tutorial.
Hi Rosita! You can do this with 2 skeins of the same color. However, to make sure you don't end up with the same colors overlapping, I would suggest using the center-pull end of one skein and the outside end of the second skein. So you would start with the first color of one skein and the last color of the second skein. This would give a similar look as if you were using two colorways.

@@YayForYarn Thank you!!
beautiful work! I love the look of the stripes, but how do you carry the yarn through each row without showing?
Hi Lynne! Since each stripe is worked over two garter stitch rows, you always switch colors on the same edge of the work. The pattern alternates two rows of one yarn, then two rows of the other yarn. So when you work two rows in one yarn, the other yarn skips those two rows on the color-changing edge. Then, when you switch yarns, the opposite yarn skips two rows on the edge. So the yarns are automatically carried along the edge neatly when they are not being used. This does show a little bit on the edge of the work, but it is neat and inconspicuous. I hope this helps!

You are welcome, Thea! I am so glad you like it!
You certainly do have a very pleasant voice, and you seem to be a very nice person! You did a very beautiful job on your shawl...where did you learn to do that?! I knit, but I haven't gotten anywhere yet. Do you also crochet?
Thank you, Patrice! I learned basic knitting and other knitting techniques from various books, from working on knitting projects, experimenting, and etc. The Double Gradient technique was something I made up while trying to design something with gradient yarn in my stash. I do crochet as well. I am not an expert at either, and I'm still learning, but I enjoy trying to create original designs. I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching!
@@YayForYarn I did enjoy the video, but as I was trying to make this, somehow it didn't come out right! I did everything that you showed on the video, but my stitches aren't coming out right--what am I doing wrong?
Hi! I would not be able to tell what the problem is without more information. Is it the shape that doesn't look right, or the individual stitches? If you send me a message on facebook (facebook.com/YayForYarnByMGG) or an email (blogger@yayforyarn.com) with a photo of your work, I would be better able to figure out what is wrong and help you out. Thanks!
@@YayForYarn Thank you for your reply, only one problem--I don't have Facebook. Sorry about that.
Update: I have gotten the hang of it now. Everything is going good. My boomerang shawl is looking good thanks to your wonderful video!
I'm happy to hear that!
How do you decrease on the other side? Thank you. ❤❤
Hi. The decrease stitch at the end of row 1 is a knit 2 together, abbreviated K2tog. This is done by knitting through 2 stitches at once, by inserting the needle through 2 stitches instead of 1, and then pulling a new loop of yarn through both stitches as though you were making a regular knit stitch. I hope this helps!
beautiful !
Thank you!
Hi do you have s vidro for yarn inspirstions demim side by dide short row side by dide v shale hawl? BUT hopefully with the wrsp snd turns done ptoperly? I thought I recalled one but can't find it.
Its not cowl blice sock or a hat PLEASE. Could you please do a shawl, scarf, or wrap something flat with short rows done propetly and closing them at end with no holes to deal and vlose all of them all up, please. You taught me to be a confident contintel knitter from my mistake ridden English style. Amaxzing, Honesyly you helped my knitting go from beginner to almost intermediate. Any suggedtions on a good order to learn the skills needed so no pattern frightens me? A good book to follow long with?
I still need to learn the linen stitch, seed stitch, short rows, and broiche, as my goals along with all the skills I pick up with every pattern. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Hi Trudy! I'm so glad my videos have been helpful to you. If you're looking for a good knitting book, I recommend this one: amzn.to/2jIUUft It covers many techniques, beginning at the basics and working up to more intermediate stitch patterns. It does have a section on short rows, shows a little about continental knitting, and even covers troubleshooting and fixing mistakes. It does cover everything in a consecutive order, so you can just go through the techniques in the order they are given. I don't think it has a section on Brioche, but the Brioche method is a bit more complex. So it would be good to go through the book first before venturing into Brioche. For now, you might try my shortcut Brioche method, which produces the same type of fabric, but is pretty simple to work. ruclips.net/p/PLmcTBVSjUYHHk1Kq1BRr4boJpU9aZq0Py I hope this helps!
