Hi Mary, if you continue with the pattern it would be triangular. However, if you make the stitches as big as this pattern instructs you'd probably stop before the shawl becomes a true triangle since the shawl will be long enough. For a true triangle shawl, I would suggest making the stitches smaller, then adding more rows. Or you can use the Lover's Knot Triangle Scarf pattern (adding rows at the end to make it shawl length), which is similar to this pattern but will make a true triangle.

Does this end up as a triangle shawl? I made a lot of these when I was younger and want to do them again but cannot find the exact pattern i used.

Hi Karen, sorry I don’t have a picture, but you are correct. It is suppose to double up.

Hi Rachel – love your directions for the knot, but I’m having trouble with the turning stitches in the shawl pattern. Do you have pictures of what the sides should look like? If I make 1 knot and sl st in the first knot – it doubles up the elongated chain on that edge.

Hi Bonney, row 1 is the top of the shawl. But honestly you can wear it anyway you want.

Is the original chain the top or the bottom of the shawl? I’m assuming bottom.
As the knot stitches decrease, does that mean it’s narrower at the top?
I’m hoping to do this in a light weight (3) bamboo yarn with about 1.5″ knot stitches. Each row will be a different color (like a rainbow), so I want a particular color at the top.

Love the pattern.

The loop that’s on your hook does not count as a stitch, but the single crochet that you made as a part of the knot stitch does. The knot is the combination of an elongated chain with the single crochet. It starts with the elongated chain and ends with the single crochet, feel free to check out the tutorial that is linked at the beginning of the post. When you crochet into a knot, crochet into the single crochet portion of it.

“sl st in 3rd knot from hook”—does the knot on the hook count as the first one? Sorry, I am confused about where to start counting the knots. I guess I am thinking of the single crochets as knots, when you mean the elongated loops are the knots? Thanks for your patience in answering all of these questions, Rachel.

Yes, the last single crochet made on the row counts as a stitch. And yes you are correct, when working into a knot, it is referring to crocheting into the single crochet portion of the stitch, not the elongated chain.

In row 1, when you slip stitch in 3rd knot from hook, does the knot on the hook count as one?
I think you mean to work in the single crochet portion of all the knots on both rows?
