This easy free shawl pattern is one of my favorites and also a favorite finished scarf to wear all winter long, or in summer, depending on the yarn you choose. I knit this triangle scarf pattern from some leftover Schoppel Zauberball Starke 6 sock yarn, lavender marl is from Fibre Company, and the darker purple is Manos del Uruguay “Serena,” all dk weight yarns.

Have just included a schematic for stitches for the 3 button shawl, and wanted to include the free knitting pattern here. It’s a similar one to a very popular 3 button shawl as featured on the Today Show with Hoda and Kathy Lee long ago.

A very easy knitting pattern, great for beginning knitters,  just a rectangle you can add your own creativity to. Very versatile in the different looks you can get by buttoning the shawl differently, and a most practical knitting project for spring and fall.

Socks are a wonderful knitting technique, easy to learn, mesmerizing and addicting needlework…. (more…)
