Crochet shawls are perfect when you want to add warmth, comfort, and style to your outfits. They come in multiple shapes, ranging from crescent and rectangular ones to crochet triangle shawls. You can wear them however you want and pair them with whatever you want. Tied around your neck and teamed with a jacket or coat, they will keep you cozy and stylish during the colder months. Getting ready for a special event, or perhaps you need an extra layer for your summer outfits? Few things pair as nicely with tops and dresses as delicate lace shawls thrown across the back and shoulders.
If you’re looking for an accessory that wraps just around the neck, choose one of the crochet scarf patterns. Handmade wraps are quick and manageable projects, which makes them also great for beginners. They are much narrower than shawls and usually built from a simple rectangle. For additional functionality, you may also want to make a crochet pocket scarf. With two large pockets, this piece is designed to keep your hands toasty warm and small essentials close.
Prefer hassle-free fabrics that are easy to wear and effortless to style? Consider creating a cowl or infinity scarf. Crochet cowls feature close-fitting designs, making them easy to slip on with just one quick motion. Infinity scarves are slightly longer and can be doubled up a few times, giving that trendy wrapped look. No matter which accessory you choose, each handmade piece is sure to become a cherished part of your wardrobe.
Whether you need an accessory to dress up or down, the following collection offers designs suited for all seasons, occasions, and skill levels. Browse through easy shawl and wrap crochet patterns tailored to beginners or go after intricate projects excellent for intermediate crocheters.

Making a crochet shawl, scarf, or cowl with these useful tools is easier than ever! Use our sizing chart to figure out what measurements your handmade accessory should have to look good on you and be comfortable to wear. There are also handy calculators to help you determine whether you have enough yarn to complete your project. The last tool presented here is used to calculate the number of increased and decreased stitches in each row, something that is especially important when crocheting triangle shawls. Try them out and start stitching smarter today!
It’s common for us to use some of these terms interchangeably, especially when we do not know what really distinguishes one from the other. Here is what sets them apart. Shawls come in different shapes (triangular, semi-circular, or rectangular), but are designed to be worn over the shoulders. A scarf, often also called a wrap, is a long, narrow rectangle that you can wrap easily around the neck. Cowls and infinity scarves are closed, circular neckwarmers. The difference between them is that a cowl is a single loop worn close to the neck, while an infinity scarf is generally longer and can be wrapped a few times.
The measurement of your handmade accessory will depend greatly on your preferences and the look you want to achieve. Generally, a traditional crochet scarf is about 60-70’’ long and 6-8’’ wide. However, you can adjust its dimensions to your height or preferred style if needed. For all scarf sizes as well as tips on how to determine the perfect fit, check out our sizing chart.
Yarn choice varies based on whether you’re making a shawl for summer, winter, or year-round use. If you intend to crochet a warm accessory for the cold season, go for bulky or super bulky yarn with wool or acrylic fiber content. Super fine cotton yarn, on the other hand, is an excellent choice for creating breezy shawls and lace pieces. Would you like to make a versatile accessory to wear all year round? Consider DK or worsted yarn weights that offer warmth and thickness without being overly bulky. Blends of acrylic and cotton work well for shawls for any season, but if you prefer warmer fabrics, you can also use wool-mixed fibers.
Yes, they are. Crochet scarves are particularly recommended as projects for beginners because they feature a very simple construction, but that doesn’t mean that shawls are overly difficult. There are lots of designs featuring simple shapes and textures suitable for those with little experience. As always, you should look for patterns marked as beginner-friendly, since they come with easy-to-follow instructions, photos, and sometimes even a video tutorial. Ideally, the pattern should use mostly basic stitches such as single crochet, half double crochet, or double crochet.
Yes, you can. To adjust the length and width of a crochet triangle shawl, you can change the number of rows you work (more rows make it larger, fewer rows make it smaller). Another way is to adjust your stitch count per row by increasing more or fewer stitches at the edges or center. Use our Increase and Decrease Calculator to get a perfectly even distribution of stitches in every row.
