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.

The knitting pattern is as forward:

Projects in the works

Hello Denizens of the Internet! 

I'm sorry for any delays in projects coming up, as I'm always working on a bunch in the background, including for school.

One of my school projects took a lot longer than I planned, due to the mock-up phase. One of the first hats we have to make is a pillbox style, and I've been working on this with the final fashion fabrics for 3 days straight, on top of other errands and life stuff. 

In the meantime, I will leave you with this snapshot of my mock-up of my hat. 

 

 I still have the following projects planned:

 -Wheel of Time stuff (I just bought beads for the dragon pin) 

-The timed trial of making the walkaway dress 

-A beginners guide for people who have never sewn before 

-the Q&A for beginners -the final reveal for the Aes Sedai Shawl ( use hashtag #wotcraftalong on instagram and here on youtube) 

-(maybe) showcasing how to sew an Aes Sedai shawl (Likely Green) 

-possibly a showcase of the process for one of my hats step by step from college

It may just take me a little longer than I planned due to timing

If you have questions regarding sewing, comment on my videos on YouTube.  I might just use them in the future!

I hope you all have a fantastic day and I look forward to hearing from you if you have questions, or would just like to say hi!

 

 

 

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.
