Wheel of Time - Aes Sedai Shawl - free knitting pattern and construction

 

 
 
On this segment, of the Wheel of Time Craft-Along Challenge, we're going to take you through the basic pattern, and knitting details, for the final construction of the knitted version of my Aes Sedai shawl. 

This includes fiber types, knitting techniques and design elements. 

 

Remember, you can use whatever materials you have available to you, and you do not have to spin your own yarn for this project. 

 

 Based on the original book series by Robert Jordan, and hopefully the shawls will be seen in the TV series Wheel of Time in the second season.

 To join in the challenge, and to be added to the playlist, please use #WoTcraftalong 

Added acknowledgement: Thank you to Bernadette Banner for the inspiration, getting me to look into the show, find the books (again) and for the inspiration to wanting to do this project.
