Crochet Shawl Patterns
Crochet shawl patterns make triangular, crescent, or rectangular pieces worn around the shoulders. Triangle shawls usually start at the top center and increase at both edges and the spine each row. Lightweight yarns in fingering to DK weight, combined with lace stitches such as shells and V-stitches, create drape, and blocking opens the pattern.

How do you block a crochet shawl?
Block a crochet shawl by soaking it in lukewarm water, gently pressing out the water in a towel, and pinning it flat to the desired shape on blocking mats. Pin out points and scallops individually and let it dry completely before unpinning.
Frequently asked questions
