Weaving a coarse woolen shawl requires some basic knitting skills and patience. Here's a simple step-by-step guide:
Material: Coarse wool (choose the color according to your preference).
Knitting needles (choose the size according to the thickness of the yarn).
Steps:1Measurement and tailoring: First, you need to determine the size of your shawl. Generally speaking, the length of a standard shawl is about 70-80 cm, and the width can be determined according to your needs. Then, cut out the corresponding length of yarn.
2.Start knitting: Start knitting with a knitting needle. You can start with any of the edges, but in general, it's more common to start on the left. Insert the first needle into the first yarn on the edge and pull it out to form a loop.
3.Weaving: Now, you can choose your favorite weaving pattern. For starters, the simplest pattern is "single row weaving". Simply pull all the needles through the loop before inserting them into the yarn on the next edge. Repeat this process until your shawl reaches your desired length.
4.End Knitting: When your shawl reaches your desired length, you need to finish the weave. This can be done by inserting the last needle into the last loop and then cutting off all the yarn. Then, you can tighten this loop to complete your shawl.
5.Finishing and trimming: Finally, you'll need to tidy and trim your shawl. This includes trimming any protruding threads, as well as using a needle nose or crochet to tighten any loose sections.
