These stunning crochet shawls are 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, fiber, and stitches you can make a shawl to wear all year round.

Choose bulky weight yarns like a thicker wool blend yarn and dense stitches to make a shawl that will keep you warm in winter.

Lighter weight yarns 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.

Both choices are great for making crochet shawls for any occassion 

Different Shapes Used in Crochet Shawl Patterns

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

I have included some gorgeous free crochet triangle shawl patterns in this collection.

Rectangular shawls and wraps 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, so you can crochet a long rectangle in not time.

In combination with basic crochet stitches, rectangles are easy crochet shawl patterns for any skill level. 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.

However, simple stitches for this type of shawl design will make it an easy shawl pattern for advanced beginners.
