Crochet shawls are incredibly versatile and you can wear them in multiple ways. Consider draping it over the shoulders, wrapping it around the neck, tying it in front, or even wearing smaller ones as a headscarf.
The most popular type of crochet shawl is definitely a triangle shawl. Depending on the pattern, it can be solid, textured, or lacy. Many projects use only basic stitches and are quite easy for beginners to make. A granny stripe shawl would be a great example – worked from the top center outward with increases along each edge. More advanced options use more complex techniques, such as post stitches, bobbles, or mixed stitches.
If you’re not into triangle shawls, consider making other shapes, such as semi-circular or crescent. These versions drape differently but still provide long narrow ends to wrap or tie around the neck.
The world of crochet is exploding with stunning triangle shawl patterns, partially thanks to the massive variety of yarns available. Ombre and multicolored yarns especially fed this trend, as they come in beautiful cakes of 1000m or more of yarn in one continuous strand. It means no knots and no ends to weave in!
When it comes to the fiber content, you have a wide choice, but every yarn type will affect the appearance and feel of your shawl. The most popular yarn choices are:
If you can, make a swatch of each yarn type to see which suits your project best. When following someone else’s pattern, stick to the type the designer recommends.
Let’s answer some frequently asked questions.

Yes! Most shawl patterns can be adjusted by adding or reducing rows or stitches. Be mindful of yarn requirements, as a larger shawl will need more yarn.
