Made this shawl many times and gave them away as prayer shawls, but was never happy with the way the beginning and end parts looked. Watched your video and LOVE your tutorial much more. The beginning and end of the shawl look so much cleaner! Thank you for sharing!

Not only is this a beautiful shawl, but your video is clearly done, in focus, and due to this, I FINALLY got the kfb stitch. I could get the knit in front, then knit in back, but so many videos by others didn't really show how to finish the stitch, as they were not working the stitch at the end of a row. Thank you! When I get my monthly retirement, I am SO going to buy you a Kofi!! Now, to get a shawl done to mail to daughter for Christmas ❤

Thank you for the great instructions! I'm a crocheter who recently decided to learn knitting so I appreciate the concise directions. Can't wait to try this with some light yarn!

I've been knitting for 68 years. I love knitting this pattern because it's repetitive, relaxing and calming. I give the finished shawls as gifts. I'm using up the yarn I have. For a friend's birthday I knitted a hat and mittens to go with the shawl. She loved the set. Thank you for this shawl pattern.

Thanks for your very clear and concise instructions, as a new knitter I do appreciate it. Also, maybe you can take a pic of the completed shawl held upright to give a better view of the finished product, that way a newbie like me can be further inspired to try it without fear 😊

[sandrareynolds]

Thank you. I finally understand what I'm doing. You are a wonderful teacher.

Thank you for the pattern. I, too, like shawl scarves, but I am looking forward to knitting this asymmetrical one for better fit.
I see I knit I have the same knitting style as you. What I naturally chose having learned crochet first.

[debrakempton]

Thank you for a great pattern, I could not visualise how it would work out as I was making this but it is great. I finished on 150 stitches which is a good size for an adult. My go to scarf for Christmas presents this year. ❤
