Wheel of Time - Books and TV show - Aes Sedai shawl construction basics

 Hello Denizens...and Wheel of Time cosplayers!


I wanted to get you a better diagram of the elements of the Aes Sedai shawl, as described from the books, and I'm hoping they will be in the show at some point.

For those of you who are making one of your own, just remember there is no time limit to this craft along this time.

To showcase your work, please use the hashtag #wotcraftalong

For those of you in the Costube community who want to make one, if you are making one, through the usual channels on Discord, if you are interested, please @ me so I can set a realistic timeframe for reveals if you would like to add one to my reveal video.

If you are on Instagram, please use the hashtag #wotcraftalong so I can find your work.

If you are a Youtuber, and making one of these shawls for your own cosplay, please tag me on Youtube so I can also find your work.

Also keep in mind, you can use mixed methods of any material. You can weave, knit, crochet, or sew to make one.

You can use natural fiber, or acrylics. You could even make one out of scraps, using patchwork techniques for quilting to make your shawl.

If anyone has questions, or needs a bit of help, please comment below.

For reference I used a very, very barebones basic knitting pattern to make it.


 Edit: I have since added several videos on YouTube, for the construction, spinning, knitting pattern, and information regarding the books and the premise of the TV show on Prime.

 

Come join me on the journey, by watching the videos below (in construction sequence order):
