Free Crochet Pattern: Knot Stitch Shawl
I love knot stitches! They are so easy and fast to make. This shawl is made completely with knot stitches that each measure 2 inches long. Of course you can make the knots stitches any length that you desire. To see what smaller knot stitches look like check out my knot stitch capelet that I made a while ago. The series of knots give a beautiful lacey and light look. If you don’t know how to crochet knot stitches yet, you can use the knot stitch tutorial. This shawl can be crocheted by beginners if you are just learning to do knot stitches.

Crochet Pattern: Shawl
Start by making a chain of 36 knots or as many knots to form the desired width of the shawl
Row 1: make 2 knots, sl st in third knot from hook, (make 2 knots, sl st in next knot) across: 72 knots, 36 sl sts
Row 2: make 1 knot, turn, sl st in first knot, (make 2 knots, skip 1 knot, sl st in next knot) across: 71 knots, 35 sl sts
Repeat row 2 ten times or until shawl is the height that you want it. Note that for each row you do, there is 1 less knot and 1 less sl st than the previous row.

Awesome Idea, and so pretty!
Thanks Rachel.
I’m, still working on the capelet (in red, like yours) so I’m going to do this shawl in black. I must say that once I figured out the stitch, its really easy and quick. I’m going to finish the capelet at the beach on the North Coast of Durban this week!
Hey Tash!
Crocheting on the beach sounds awesome!! I’m so jealous, lol. I agree that once you get the stitch the rest is cake
Hey, that’s pretty cool. You know, that knot stitch really reminds me of the Solomon knot-probably the same thing. I like it!
Hey Em!
Yup the knot stitch is the Solomon’s knot. There are so many names for the same thing that I just call it knot, lol!
WoW. That’s really pretty and such a neat idea. I believe I’m going to try this =)
Yay! Let me know how it goes Dominique
I can’t wait to make this it’s so pretty ,and I think it would make a nice gift for some birthdays that are coming up and lets not forget mother’s day =) thanks for sharing I’m really looking forward to making this.
Hey Janna! I’m glad you decided to make it! And thanks for reminding me about mother’s day…I almost forgot about it. Let me know how it goes
This is awesome! I love the lacy look. I’ll make it as a birthday present for myself xD(It’s coming up)
Yee-haw!!! I finally learned to do the knot stitch! Thanks so much!! My first shawl ended up across the back of my couch, but I learned the stitch!!!! I was wondering – could this stitch be worked into one of those half-circle shawls that are so popular? I’m not a pattern writer – I can see stuff in my mind but have problem putting it into instructions anyone else could follow.
Love you site and all your neat patterns.
Hugs,
Katy
I love this stitch. It is nice and repetative. This shawl not only will be great for the long drive we have to a reunion this weekend, but when we get there I will have a pretty shawl to go with the anniversary party we are going to. AWESOME!
Do you ever do this in a V pattern? If so do you have any tips?
Hey Kristen, I’ve never done a V pattern with this stitch. But if you’re familiar with the V stitch, I think you can do something similar to that.
I really love this pattern! I made it within two or three sit downs. I crocheted it a little longer than you had said. I went downt to the very end, where it had one last little loop left. It turned out really pretty and I hope it turns out to be a great gift!
