Jaime and Amber from Fancy Tiger Crafts show you how to make one of their most sought-after knitting projects: The Imposter’s Shawl. This triangular shawl got its name because the basket weave stitches and scalloped edging appear to be woven and crocheted – but, in fact, it’s all cleverly knitted. The shawl begins with a single stitch that grows quickly with strategically placed increases. The scalloped edge is added at the end, and then the whole shawl is blocked to perfection.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Materials:
  • The Imposter’s Shawl pattern (see PDF)
  • 2 skeins Fancy Tiger Craft’s Heirloom Romney yarn (or 400 yards of worsted weight yarn)
  • 40” long size 8 circular needle
  • Scissors
  • Darning needle
  • Removable stitch marker
  • Salad spinner (for blocking)
  • T pins
  • Blocking wires
  • Mat for blocking

It is a nice shawl. I enjoyed the step-by-step demo, especially for the scalloped edge. I've never seen a stitch like that before. Thanks for doing this class!

I would advise anyone who bought written pattern to see video. Written pattern is not the best. I am finishing the border but I had to rewrite and simplify the pattern to my understanding before making shawl. They also might consider suggesting a stretchy bind off. It is a beautiful shawl. Make no mistake about that!
