I have been knitting and wearing shawls most of my life. I love how they make me feel, warm, stylish and original, especially if I designed the shawl myself.
I've been kind of in a rut lately, though. I know how to knit circular and square shawls from the center out, rectangular stoles and triangle. There must be more I can do.
There is!
Melissa Leapman has written a very complete instruction book on modular knitting shawls with steps, pictures, hints, illustrations, everything except the yarn. Don't worry. She even tells you how to get your favorite yarn weight to work for you.
The book includes stitch patterns that work well for the technique. It covers background, inserts, edgings, bindoffs, and, oh, yes, gives you two invisible cast ons.
I am enamoured of this book. I got some beautiful gradient yarn for Christmas. Watch for my shawl on Ravelry. I am cookieknits.
I received this book in digital form free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review, however, I liked it so much I purchased the hardcover version.

There are so many knitting instruction books out there that it is becoming difficult to find new ideas. However, Melissa Leapman has succeeded in writing an excellent volume of interesting, interchangeable patterns for all levels of knitters of shawls, wraps or stoles. Knitters can design patterns by following instructions to combine sections. You will find patterns for triangles, horizontal insertions and borders which, when assembled, can provide unlimited possibilities. There are 212 patterns along with a glossary of knitting techniques, how to read knitting charts, a list of symbols and abbreviations and a metric conversion chart. This will make a great addition to your knitting library. Thank you to Storey Publishing and NetGalley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

September 1, 2018This is a great book but you need to be aware that it's essentially a stitch dictionary. It's one specifically for modular shawls and offers stitches for a lot of triangles, borders and straight panels you can place between the triangles.
There are some patterns but they only tell you 'Use triangle X on page Y, combine with border Z' so if you want to knit one of them you'll have to leaf forth and back a lot. (Well, you'll have to do that anyway if you want to combine any of the patterns...)

This book is brilliant. Recommended for knitters who have knit shawls before and want to experiment with designing and knitting their own. A fantastic reference.

Many thanks to Netgalley, Storey Publishing, and Melissa Leapman for an ARC in exchange for a review. My opinions are 100% my own and independent of receiving an advanced copy.
Shawls are one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your wardrobe. They are an excellent layering piece, can be worn many different ways and are easy to make. You can use almost any different yarn weight so you can use your special lace weight skein that you bought when you were somewhere special, or a worsted weight that you have laying around in your stash. They make beautiful gifts and the knitted shawls of today are not what your grandma used to make.
If you are new to knitting you might not know that Melissa Leapman is a very well known and prolific designer. Her patterns have been in all the major publications for both knitting and crochet. She has written many books herself, some of which I own and I really do love her designs. Part of wanting to check out this book was because I saw that she was the author. She does not disappoint.
This book is truly amazing. There are so many components to it, so I’ll try and break it down for you. First she has 7 steps in creating the perfect shawl. First you choose your silhouette. She breaks down the shawl into the smallest component - the wedge. Then, depending on how you want your shape, you decide how many wedges you want. Two wedges creates the triangle shawl. Once you start adding on, there are different ways you can put the wedges together to get different shapes. You can use up to six wedges. The second step is the choose the stitch pattern. She has many in the book, but you can use any stitch you want, from any stitch pattern book. She has accounted for how to adjust to different number of stitches in the stitch pattern, so really anything can work. Then you decide on your background texture. Choosing between a knit background or a garter stitch background will really make a difference to the appearance of the stitch pattern. Step four asks you to choose your edging and step five a cast on tab, which goes hand in hand with the edging you have chosen. Step six means choosing a border and step seven a bind off and that completes the steps in constructing a shawl. You can choose a solid fabric or decide on a lacy, more openwork design, the choices are endless, but by breaking it into these easy steps nothing is overwhelming.
There are fixed patterns that you can follow step by step with picots of what the end product looks like. What is even better is that there is a gallery of shawls at the back set up so that you can see how each of the seven steps apply to each of the patterns. Simple substitution and small tweaks give you another jumping off point to creating your own design. Of course, you can be as creative as your imagination and remember, if you don’t like it, you can always undo it! There are no mistakes. I love that you can all take baby steps and get more creative as you become more comfortable with experience. There are many diagrams and charts that clearly help you map out what style you would like to make. Even with the most basic design, and a simple stitch pattern by simple changing one or two small elements like the border, or the edging, you can end up with a completely new looking shawl. The possibilities are endless!
This book is so easy to use, full of inspiration and really limitless in ideas, I think it will become a staple that you will refer to many times for many years. I am so excited! I can’t wait to cast on my first project. Now hmmm, which yarn shall I choose??

Knitting shawls can seem daunting. I've met a lot of knitters of all sorts of proficiency, who complain about shawl knitting, especially the ones with a lace patterned body.
This book makes shawl knitting understandable and easy to follow. Knitting a shawl is broken down into seven simple steps that the knitter needs to follow. Further, once you have understood those seven steps, you can mix and match from a multitude of forms, borders, edges, inserts, lace patterns, or simple textured pattern created by knits and purls.
As daunting as knitting a shawl might seem, it is not. I'd recommend this book to any knitter who knows how to cast on, knit, purl, do a yarn over, do a kfb, or kfbf; but even if you don't know how to do all of those yet, this book will show you. It also explains how to read charts. Advanced knitters might find this book interesting, because it helps them create their own patterns, since each step of the construction is explained.
There are a lot of projects with detailed pattern instructions, which you can use to explore different levels of shawl knitting, as well as, different shapes of shawls.
A gem among knitting books.

This book has a great concept for making an unlimited number of unique shawls. I was pretty excited when I picked it up. Alas, it is for someone with more knitting experience than me. The patterns were very nice, but it was hard to imagine how to use them because the samples were all knitted in a natural color fiber and showed just a few pattern repeats, not the entire shawl. Bland. The precious few samples they did in color dazzled. But overall, the patterns were a bit too complex for me. Perhaps in a few years I will try this book again after I have more knitting experience.

I received an ARC of this book to review. It is, in a word, gorgeous. Ms. Leapman has published patterns and techniques that will engage knitter's of all skill levels. Photography is clean and the book is beautifully designed. If you are interested in adding a new technique to your knitting repetoire, this is a book you'really going to want to pick up.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley.com for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Great jumping off point to designing your own shawls and wraps.
September 27, 2018
This book is more than a pattern book - it is a recipe book. In addition to providing 20 gorgeous shawl patterns, it also provides instructions for a "Choose Your Own Adventure" approach to designing your own shawls, with a LOT of increasingly elaborate stitch patterns (I was going to give an exact number, but there were too many, and I lost track while counting). I've been a knitter for awhile, and still some of them were completely new to me. My fingers are itching right now to sit down and play around with the components to create a truly personal shawl.
All stitch patterns are given as both charts and written instructions, with clear photos of each, knit up in a light yarn that really shows off the stitch definition. There is a HUGE variety in the stitch patterns, so it's obvious that Melissa Leapman put a lot of thought and work into this collection - it's definitely not something she could just have phoned in. I'm especially impressed by the section on adding horizontal or vertical insertions to shawl designs - a very simple design-element that few patterns incorporate, but which is extremely effective and really makes your shawl stand out. As for the section on borders, I'm biased - I absolutely love a nice perpendicular border, and Melissa has some amazing ones to try out here.
Photographs of the 20 patterns provided are spread out throughout the book. Each shawl is beautifully modeled, and shows wingspan, a close-up and a glamour shot for the full effect of the shawl. Project #10 is my personal favourite, and I can't wait to cast it on!
I know I'm gushing, but I'm really impressed by this book, and can't think of anything I'd add or change to make it better. It's not aimed at beginners, as it does require you to have some previous knowledge of knitting shawls, but I'd definitely recommend this book to any semi-experienced knitter who wants to take the next step towards creating his or her own designs.

This is an excellent resource for knitters who want to learn how to design their own shawls. The author provides a breakdown of the various components of the garment along with a variety of lace patterns for each section. She provides twenty sample shawls using “recipes” with selections for each component along with two projects with complete instructions to help the reader begin the design process. The book is very well organized with clear instructions and excellent stitch sample photography. With this book in hand, every knitter will have the tools necessary to easily undertake their own designs. Highly recommended for all knitting enthusiasts!

I received this review copy from Storey Publishing, LLC via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion.
So many possibilities! That's what struck me as I looked through this book. There are endless combinations of parts to create finished pieces. As an intermediate knitter, I found the explanations clear and the notes, tips and charts very helpful. This is definitely a book I would consider purchasing.

This is a complete guide for making amazing shawls.
Love the modular shaping to get the modern styles and out of the ordinary long rectangular ones we are used to.
The different stitches and designs will feed your imagination for new patterns and awesome projects.
Easy to understand and follow instructions.
This is a perfect gift for any knitter.

It can be overwhelming if you want to begin designing your own shawls. Melissa Leapman's newest book – a combination master class on shawl design and dictionary of over 200+ knitting stitches – will help you begin.
Her customizable technique steps the knitter through the different parts of a shawl to create unique new designs by building on wedges, stitch/texture, cast-on, border/edging, and bindoff. The first part of the book explains how to shape a shawl by combining different key parts. In addition, tips on yardage, lifelines, and charts to help determine which stitch multiples are best used for different silhouettes are included to help create success.
The second part is a stitch dictionary which is both written and charted. It is organized by the part of the shawl where the stitch will be used from edgings, wedges of different stitch counts, insertions, and borders. The complete designs that appear are explained and the various steps used are detailed. This is a valuable resource for the knitter looking to learn how to combine skills in new ways.
This review also appeared in issue 65 | deep fall 2018 of knitty.

Not for new knitters, but if you are experienced, this is a great resource to help you create unique shawl designs. There are some full patterns, but the real asset here are the stitch and shawl diagrams that help you create your own shawl design. If you want to get into shawl or wrap designs, this is a great book for you.

Having knit for several decades but without once knitting a shawl, I am now tempted. This book, if you have a familiarity with knitting, will allow you to easily design a shawl for yourself. It is practically a stitch dictionary for knitting wedges. I do wish the author would have included photos of the purl/garter side of the swatches that one is able to use either knit or purl as the background texture - adding perhaps 70 or so more swatches to the book. Clean and well-organized book.
October 15, 2019
As with anything by Melissa Leapman, this book is well-presented, beautifully photographed, and full of inpsiring ideas. It covers the technicalities, from basic to more advanced techniques, and then presents the reader with nearly unlimited possibilities to design their own beautiful items. As a knitter, I tend to stick to the word-based patterns--schematics just don't work well for me--so this book did present a bit of a challenge.

Loved it
I love this book. I am experience knitter but knitting shaped scarf was a little bit of mystery for me. This book replies all the questions. The written patterns are very clear. I love the pattern graphs and the photo how it looks when knitted. The book covers the basic and very complicated shaping. This going to be my perfect guide unremitting world. I think I is good for all experience level knitters.

Interesting way of knitting, some interesting patterns, but pretty hard to follow if you're just a beginner. I used the Internet to "translate" some of the things in this book. Planning the shawl is not as simple as the book touts.
But I might come back to it once I get more experience.

Knitting Modular Shawls, Wraps, and Stoles
An Easy, Innovative Technique for Creating Custom Designs, with 185 Stitch Patterns by Melissa Leapman
This book concentrates on making shawls using a modular form in 7 easy steps.
Make a lot of these for others at nursing homes and for other religious charities.
Tips along the way that you can use in most any pattern you have used or will use in the future.
There are so many variations even in the edgings and starting rows.
Helps you decide on the shape you want.
Some of the colors of the finished items are in dark yarns with dark background-hard to see what it is you are looking at.
Like diagrams and charted stitching guides. Like how briefly the 7 steps are discussed then next chapters are more detailed.
There are charts along the way that show what you should select as per the yarn you choose and needles.
Found the book confusing as you have to go to many different sections in the book to finish one piece as they are broken up into modeular wedges.
Good thing is you can customize the sections to what you want to achieve. Gallery of shawls is included along with all the information you need to get the supplies to make one for yourself.
Resources include glossary of knitting techniques, shown in diagraoms along with written words in how to make them: how to read charts, finishing your shawl and an index in a foreign language.
Problem I have is I hate sewing smaller pieces up, rather do a one piece design-there are some of those as well.

March 5, 2024Never having knitted anything before, I found the instructions and patterns in this books to be quite complicated and a bit too difficult to follow. That being said, for the more experienced knitter, this book reveals how to make some beautiful creations that are feminine and nicely detailed.

This is a great resource for those wanting to start to branch out into making their shawls unique for them. She starts the book with a very basic idea of a triangle and then modules to add to it. There are 20 patterns included which are very well written and easy to understand.
As a fairly new knitter I am a little intimidated to branch out and try to design my own shawl but now I feel I have enough information to do so.
