This Free Easy Beginner Knitting Pattern is so soft, easy, and fast to work up and is made with one skein of Bernat Velvet (colorway Smokey Violet), a bulky weight chenille-type yarn, but it can be made with any weight or type of yarn.

This shawl is perfect for a beginner or a relaxing mindless knit, as it is primarily garter stitch, with photo and video tutorial for the basic knit front and back increase used, as well as a photo tutorial for the optional fringe tassels. Make yourself the softest shawl ever! to cozy up in, or make one as a hug for a loved one.

I used 1 skein of Bernat Velvet to make a shawl 52 inch wingspan by 21 inch depth. You can, however, use any yarn desired, as this pattern can easily be used as a recipe, though of course your yardage requirements will vary.

Happy Knitting!

P.S. As with all of my patterns, you are welcome to sell any items you make with your personal copy of the pattern. Please respect the designer’s hard work and do not sell the pattern itself.
