How to knit an easy shawl for beginners

This cute Faerie Cake Shawl is the perfect knitting project for beginners! With simple garter stitch and basic increases and decreases, you’ll be able to shape the scarf effortlessly. The yarn’s color-changing nature creates beautiful stripes without the need for weaving in multiple ends. For this project, you’ll need 2 balls of variegated yarn, circular needles (5mm/US 8, at least 60cm/24in long), a darning needle, a tassel maker, and scissors. The shawl is worked in garter stitch back and forth on the circular needles. You’ll continue like this until your desired size is reached. The finished size of the shawl is approximately 145cm (75 inches) measured across the long edge. If you prefer not to add tassels, then you can make your knitted shawl with just 1 ball of yarn.
