This square Celtic knot pattern can be worked in any gauge. The finished piece is a square with a side-length of about 110 sc. The strands consist of 4 rows of sc, shaped with increases and decreases (2 sc in same stitch to increase, slst2tog to decrease). The strands are then woven together and running-stitched in place.

Written pattern for a scarf in the form of a Celtic-style knot. The scarf holds its shape while it’s worn, so you can see the pattern if you lay it flat on your chest. It is more decorative than warm.

This pattern can be worked in any gauge. The finished dimensions are (very roughly) 25 by 50 sc. So if you make a swatch of 10 sc, and its width is 8 cm, expect the piece to measure about 20 cm by 40 cm.

The knot is made up of several strands sewn together. Each knot strand is shaped using increases and decreases to determine the curvature. The outlines are added with slip stitches. The pattern is suitable for a motivated beginner, and includes a detailed phototutorial.

These instructions will show you how to make a shawl in the triweave pattern shown in the pictures to the left. A detailed phototutorial is included. The pattern has clickable table of contents and list of figures to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. There are also extra notes on adapting the technique to other shapes.

Three types of blocks are sewn together to form a repeating lattice pattern. The pattern is given in three ways: a detailed phototutorial, printable written instructions, and charts.
