- 1). Cut 24 strands of bulky weight (thick) yarn; the length of the strands should be one and a half times the length you want for your finished shawl.
- 2). Tie the strands together in sets of four, making the knots approximately 5 inches down from one end of the yarn. Line up these knots side by side, with approximately 1 inch of space between each one, and pin them to a towel or foam mat.
- 3). Take the two right-side strands from your first bundle, and knot them together with the two left-side strands from your second yarn bundle. Position this knot approximately 5 inches down from the first knots you made. Repeat this across the row, taking the right-side strands from one bundle and tying them to the left-side strands from the next bundle. Leave the final two strands untied.
- 4). Tie the original four strands from each yarn bundle together again, holding two strands in your left hand and two in your right as you tie. Position these knots 5 inches down from the last set of knots, and repeat the knots across the row.
- 5). Repeat the knotting process in steps three and four until you have approximately 5 inches of yarn left; leave this yarn to hang down as fringe. For each new row of knots, position the knots 5 inches down from the last row.
