The Morning Walk shawl knitting pattern is a triangular shawl that features simple, textured “stripes” of garter stitch and stockinette stitch.

One of my favorite things is a morning walk with a friend. There’s time to chat about life… as we enjoy walking in charming neighborhoods throughout Kansas City (my hometown), on the trails through beautiful local parks, and on scenic shorelines when on vacation.

This shawl is very easy to knit with worsted #4 weight yarn. The pattern uses knit and purl stitches, as well as simple increase and decrease stitches.

DIRECTIONS FOR ONE (1) SIZE:
63” wingspan x 13” deep

The pattern includes details about how to make the shawl larger.

WORSTED #4 WEIGHT YARN: 400 - 420 yards

For the blue shawl shown in the photos, I used two skeins of Malabrigo Rios worsted #4 weight yarn in the ‘Blue Jean’ colorway.

This shawl will look attractive with solid or multi-color hand dyed colorways.

Be sure to purchase additional yarn if you plan to make the shawl larger.

The pattern may also be used with slightly lighter or heavier weight yarns. Select the needle size that gives the best appearance for your yarn. Finished size and amount of yarn needed may vary depending on yarn choice and gauge.

KNITTING NEEDLES:
US 8 circular knitting needles, 28” - 40” in length

The project is worked flat, in one piece on circular knitting needles.

GAUGE:
Garter stitch with US size 8 needles: 18 sts & 40 rows = 4”

Take time to test gauge. If using worsted #4 weight yarn and your gauge has less than 18 stitches per 4” the project may require more yarn than noted above.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy for a confident knitter

You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, read a row by row knitting pattern, bind off stitches and weave in ends. In addition to basic knit and purl stitches, these stitches are used:

K2tog: knit 2 stitches together
kfb: knit 1 into front and back of a stitch
Sl1 wyif: slip 1 stitch purlwise with yarn in front
yo: yarn over

This pattern uses standard U.S. knitting terms.

Written pattern with row by row instructions.

BLOCKING RECOMMENDED:
