Solomon’s Knot Shawl

posted in Crochet |

The Solomon’s Knot Shawl is definitely my most popular pattern. There aren’t that many patterns out there that use this stitch, but it’s a shame… the Solomon’s Knot stitch (aka True Lover’s Knot Stitch, Hail Stone Stitch, or Love Knot Stitch) is beautiful and a great way to show off special yarn.

More pictures here.

You Will Need:
Lion Brand Incredible Ribbon Yarn (2 balls)
OR the yarn of your choice (use appropriate hook)
Size H/8 hook (5.00mm)

SK = Solomon’s Knot
sk = skip

Click here to learn how to make the SK. They call it a love knot, but it’s the same thing.
Or click this one for a different site’s take on it.

Foundation: Ch 1. Make 22 SK, each 2.75 inches long. Make 2 SK, each 2
inches long.

Note: From now on, make each SK 2 inches long.

Row 1: Sc in 3rd SK from hook.
(Make 2 SK, sc in next st) 21 times.
Turn.

Row 2: Be careful that you don’t twist your work during this row!
Make 1 SK. Sc into first st.
(Make 2 SK, sk 1 st. Sc in next st) 21 times.

Note: The skipped stitch is the sc from the previous row. From now on, you will always crochet into a SK stitch, not a sc.
Turn.

Row 3: Make 1 SK. Sc into first SK.
(Make 2 SK, sk 1 st. Sc in next st) 20 times.
Turn.

Row 4: Make 1 SK. Sc into first SK.
(Make 2 SK, sk 1 st. Sc in next st) 19 times.
Turn.

Row 5: Make 1 SK. Sc into first sk.
(Make 2 SK, sk 1 st. Sc in next st) 18 times.
Turn.

Row 6: Make 1 SK. Sc into first sk.
(Make 2 SK, sk 1 st. Sc in next st) 17 times.
Turn.

Rows 7-22: Follow the pattern established above.
On Row 22, you should only (Make 2 SK, sk 1 st. Sc in next st) once.
Turn.

Finish: Make 1 SK. Sc into first SK (the point of the shawl).
Finish off.

Cut pieces of yarn for fringe. Choose how long you want it to be, and how
many pieces you want per knot. Attach fringe to each knot on the bottom two edges of the shawl, pulling the beginning and ending “tails” into the fringe to hide them.

If you use this pattern to make a shawl, please post a link to your blog entry or your photo in the comments. I’d love to see it!

Thanks!!! A local yarn store is going out of business (sniff, sniff) and they had a great discount on a beautiful ribbon yarn. I wanted the yarn, but couldn’t figure out out to do with it. Now I know!!! Thanks again!!!

I will, eventually. But don’t hold your breath: my baby is due in 2 weeks, I’m trying to prepare the baby’s stuff and to finish all kinds of projects before that, and then the baby comes and it will be “I’m so sleepy!!” all the time, so I probably won’t be doing any crocheting for quite a while.

But sooner or later - I’ll get to it!

Congratulations, Irene! I look forward to seeing a picture of your shawl in five years, when the baby is in kindergarten.
hehe.

Hi! I can’t get help from Annie’s Attic to make a Solomon’s knot. I want to show my 2 nieces how to do this on Sunday. Not sure if the other pix will be enough. Got other sites I can check? I am a new crocheter and I’m trying to get my teen nieces interested. I got some Incredible ribbon yarn
for $1.00 each and I am ready to go!
Thanks for any help.

Bethlehem, Pa. XOXOXO to all critters!!!

Oh no! I didn’t realize that the Annie’s Attic link didn’t work anymore… the other site is still a good reference, and if you study the pictures (including the drawings) you should be able to get it. Maybe I’ll write up a solomon’s knot tutorial later though.
