Loom Knit a Simple Triangle Shawl

This is a VERY simple Triangle Shawl pattern that only appears to be complicated. I believe even a beginner can easily handle it. With so many uses it is definitely worth the try. To make things even nicer it’s a one day, one skein, one loom pattern completed in one piece with the option to customize with fringes, tassels, beads as I did or you can easily add some interesting charms.

Below is the pattern and the step by step video tutorial.

Triangle Shawl Pattern

 

Supplies

Loom: Any Extra Large Loom Round or Long. I used the 11.5 inch 42-peg CinDwood Loom. Compares to the Knifty Knitter 41-peg Extra Large Loom.

Yarn: 180 Yards of Lion Brand Homespun in Olive

Hook: Any loom hook. I used the Authentic Knitting Board Hook

Stitches: Knit and Figure 8

.
Pattern Notes: VERY IMPORTANT

This pattern develops as you go from continuous increases to continuous decreases. So it’s just a matter of understanding the stitch and then how to add by one stitch at a time and then reduce by one stitch at a time.

The Increase (From Left to Right): Done over 2 pegs. Where ever the working is located, that is Peg 1. Take the working yarn behind Peg 2, come around to the front of the peg and half wrap. Bring the working yarn behind Peg 1 and completely wrap it. You have formed a figure 8. Peg 1 has 2 loops. Peg 2 has only 1 loop.  Knit-off Peg 1.

The Decrease (From Right to Left): Done over 3 pegs. Where ever the working is located, that is Peg 3. Take the loop off Peg 2. Move it to Peg 1. Knit-off. Peg 2 is now empty. Take the loop off Peg 3 move it to Peg 2. Tighten the working yarn. Peg 3 is now empty.

Decreases: See Pattern Notes Above

You should be on your last peg. You have finished the first part of your Triangle Shawl and are reading to beginning the 2 half. For me that was peg 42, since my loom has 42 pegs. I need to decrease one peg. Per the notes above:

Done over 3 pegs (40, 41, 42) .  I take the loop off Peg 41. Move it to Peg 40. Knit-off. Peg 41 is now empty. I take the loop off Peg 42 move it to Peg 41. Tighten the working yarn. Peg 42 is now empty.

I turn back to knit to the left. I slip (skip) the first peg and beginning knitting back to Peg 1. I will continue to do this until the last 2 pegs.

 

Bind-off

When there are just 2 Pegs with loops. Take the loop on the right, move it to the left. Knit-off. Cut the working yarn. Feed the yarn through the last loop.

Weave-in your ends.

You’re Done

Optional:

Crochet an edge over the loose loops on the side of the increases.
