Knot stitch shawl… I have been making this shawl for more than 30 years, however, it’s been at least four years since I have made one and now I am ready to make AND keep one for myself. Even after all these years, I don’t have one…it’s time. My problem is I can’t remember the chain stitch repeat for this pattern. For example: 200 chain stitches, plus three extra stitches; or 298 stitches, plus two extra for the pattern. I just can’t remember the repeat on the base chain and I know there is one. I never liked to start out with a knot stitch as my beginning row, not enough structure for the rest of the shawl, at least not for me. If you could help, I would be so very grateful. I wanted to start my shawl, a few days ago, while I have time… Thank you for any suggestions, sean.

I HAVE to try this! When I’ve looked at shawls and blankets with this stitch it looked so complicated! But the way you made this tutorial, providing pictures and slowing it down a bit, I understand it! I think I may be able to do it without bringing the yarn and hook in the den where I am!

Hi Sally, I used to hold my loops up to a ruler when I was first making them. But after a few repeats you can just eyeball it. It doesn’t have to be perfectly the same length each time, close enough is good

Hi Rachel
Is there a trick to ensuring all your loops are the same size – the knot stitch seems a bit tedious trying to get them all the same size.
Thanks
Sally

Hi Rachel,

I have been purchasing your patterns for a while now, and I love how clearly they are written. I recently purchased (elsewhere) a vintage pattern for a head scarf that uses the knot stitch. I despaired a little because I have never encountered this stitch. I did a search on the internet and YOUR tutorial is the first one in the search results! I knew I hit gold! I should have just gone straight to your site to begin with!. Thanks so very much!

Hi LuAnn, this tutorial will show you how to do the stitch. If you’re working in the middle of a pattern and already have a loop on your hook, you can start with step 2 to begin the stitch. Let me know which step you get stuck on and I can help you further.

I’ve used 3 knots at the begging or the end of the row. But it can depend on what shape you’re making.

How would you increase a lovers knot? I haven’t been able to figure that one out.
