15 Stunning Free Crochet Shawl Patterns

These 15 stunning crochet shawls is a collection of some of the best free crochet shawl patterns online!

I love the versatility of a crochet shawl! The possibilities in terms of shape, size and style are endless! You can wear these versatile crochet accessories throughout the year. With the right choice of yarn, fibre and stitches you can make a shawl to wear all year round. Choose a thicker wool blend yarn and dense stitches to make a shawl that will keep you warm in winter. Lighter and thinner yarns in cotton, linen or bamboo combined with lacy open stitches will create a shawl perfect for summer to lightly drape over your shoulders. 

Different Shapes Used in Crochet Shawl Patterns

One of the most popular shapes are triangles. Whether they are regular or asymmetric, these are by far the most popular and widely made by crocheters of all abilities. 

Rectangular wraps or shawls are the easiest to make as there is no shaping required. It is a great place to start for beginners as you don’t have to worry about any increases or decreases. However, rectangular wraps can also be worked on diagonal. This is when each row consists of increase on one side and decrease on the other, so the whole wrap grows on a slant. 

Half moon shapes are notoriously tricky to design as the increase happens in a half curve. Which means calculating the increases evenly so the half circle remains flat can be a little brain buckling.
