Sock-Yarn Shawls: 15 Lacy Knitted Shawl Patterns

Wonderful patterns. It's difficult to choose which ones to knit. I particularly like that there are both charts and written instructions for all of them.I have completed several and have found no errors in the patterns -- which is common in patterns I've gotten online. The instructions are very clear and I believe an advanced beginner could successfully complete them. There are also instructions on how to enlarge the shawls if you have more yarn than is called for in the pattern. The smaller sizes take only a couple of evenings to complete but yield beautiful products.

This beautiful book for knitters is filled with shawl patterns that can be knit with sock yarns. If you're like me, you have tons of sock yarns in your stash and don't want to use all of it on socks. This provides a wonderful alternative for all that beautiful sock yarn. Most of the patterns require just one skein and that means you won't have to go out and spend a lot of money on new yarns. The patterns are both written out and charted, which works well for me as I prefer the written out patterns. This is a beautiful book and a wonderful addition to every knitter's library.

Some nice patterns but not as nice or as varies as the second book. Will probably make one or two of these shawls

The purple shawl in the picture is my version of the cover shawl, and it turned out absolutely beautiful. I’m a fairly experienced knitter, but even a newer lace knitter will be able to make the projects in this book. (Don’t be dissuaded by the reviews that criticize the clarity of the directions. The overall directions for each project include the charts, with the written instructions for the lace portions of each shawl set forth separately, for knitters who don’t use charts - but I encourage you to learn to use the charts, as they are definitely the easiest way to make these shawls, or any other lace or cable knitted project). The only downside to this book is that the glued binding cracked easily when I opened the book flat. I took it to the local copy shop and had it spiral bound for a few dollars, problem solved and now every page stays flat and is easily read. I have enjoyed 8 or more of the patterns in this book, making it an excellent value.

No tengo nada

This book is filled with beautiful delicate style shawls. I can't wait to start making some of them.

Page 74 tab cast on is the basis to begin a triangular lace shawl. I love this style. You can continue with just the what it's call a yarn over basic shawl or get into the lace. I am knitting page 13 inflorescence shawl pattern. I have accumulated a lot of sock yarn, mostly cascade heritage, solid colors. I am using red for this shawl. I plan to use the 3 different blues in bands of color changes maybe 4 inches each light to dark like a colorwash. I am early in the category of intermediate knitter and feel this book a challenge yet possible. Starting in December knitting gifts for 2014 birthdays and Christmas. I am very pleased with the style this book is written in, easy to follow. Charts are written out, easier for Mr to do than the picture of a chart for me. Worth the investment. Worthy to be in your knitting collection.

Very pretty shawls. Will be tryingnthem
