    Stunning Crochet Shawls in a Snap: 10 Free Patterns

    Published: Nov 26, 2012 · Modified: Feb 16, 2023 by Tamara Kelly · 33 Comments

    The shawl has made a huge comeback in fashion, worn both traditionally and "backwards" as a triangular scarf. There are many gorgeous patterns out now...and so many of them look like they'd take ages to make! While the end result is no doubt worth it, I know that sometimes you want (or need!) a project that works up fast fast fast. So today I've gathered together 10 free patterns for crochet shawls that take less than 450 yards of yarn to make - great for gift giving, and perfect when you want something special to wear to that holiday party, but don't have a lot of time to prepare!

    10 Free Patterns for Crochet Shawls

    Click on the names of the patterns you like to go to their pattern pages!

    1. Elise Shawl by Evan Plevinski (300-340 yds): The pattern calls for fingering or sock yarn, but I've seen some lovely examples in heavier weight yarn! free crochet shawl patterns fast crochet shawls crescent batwing triangle shawl patterns
    2. Crochet Baktus by Helda Panagary (437 yds): Another one that calls for fingering, but looks just as good in worsted (just remember to up the hooks size too)! free crochet shawl patterns fast crochet shawls crescent batwing triangle shawl patterns
    3. Little Wing Shawlette (CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE - I'll update with a new link when it does become available.) on Crochet Uncut (265 yds): With Aran weight yarn you can have a finished shawl in just 20 rows, and one or two skeins of yarn! free crochet shawl patterns fast crochet shawls crescent batwing triangle shawl patterns
    4. CloudBurst Shawl by Tuesday Fortnite (300-350 yds): A shawl that works up in just 3 hours (on average)?! Worsted weight and an 8.0mm hook make this crochet shawl pattern fast as can be. free crochet shawl patterns fast crochet shawls crescent batwing triangle shawl patterns
    5. Sunspree One Skein Shawl on NaturallyCaron.com (251 yds): Made with just one skein of DK weight Naturally Caron Spa yarn, this small shawl is easier to make bigger if desired - just repeat rows 3 and 4 until you've got the size you want! free crochet shawl patterns fast crochet shawls crescent batwing triangle shawl patterns
    6. Neptune's Tears by Anastasia Roberts (400+ yds): This is one for the more experienced crocheter. The stitches themselves aren't that complex, but the pattern is more of a loose recipe than an explicit set of instructions. Beautiful though! free crochet shawl patterns fast crochet shawls crescent batwing triangle shawl patterns
    7. Wingspan Crochet Shawl by Carole Marie (306-328 yds): UPDATE: This pattern is no longer free, but is available for purchase. Modeled after the popular knit Wingspan Shawl, this version included directions for  three different sizes. free crochet shawl patterns fast crochet shawls crescent batwing triangle shawl patterns
    8. Pico Bandito Shawl on Jonboy Crafts (150-300 yds): This is an amazingly simple crochet shawl pattern - and the result is this very trendy crescent shape! So simple it's brilliant! free crochet shawl patterns fast crochet shawls crescent batwing triangle shawl patterns
    9. Morning Has Broken by Kelly Surace (360-370 yds): Two skein of Lion Brand Homespun or another Bulky yarn is all it takes to make this large shawl pattern. Be sure to check the gallery for color ideas and inspiration, I don't think the original photo does it justice. free crochet shawl patterns fast crochet shawls crescent batwing triangle shawl patterns
    10. Sezession I by Rodger Murry (437 yds): This cozy and lovely granny-style shawl is sure to warm the heart and shoulders of anyone who wears it. free crochet shawl patterns fast crochet shawls crescent batwing triangle shawl patterns

      These patterns are beautiful.
      I would really appreciate if you could help me locate a pattern that was in a WORKBASKET magazine in the early to mid 70's. It is a shell pattern worked in triple crochet. The shawl was worn on the tv show Three's Company by the character Mrs Roper.

            No picture, but maybe you can read through and see if it sounds right -- it is a lacey shawl from the site mentioned, but no clue if it is the right one: https://web.archive.org/web/20131028101042/http://newworldalpacatextiles.com/blog#

        I have started and ripped out 3 times the Pico Bandito. It doesn't lay flat. I have had to add stitches in some rows.Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else had a problem with this "pattern"?

          Hi Judy! I haven't made it, but the instructions say to "block vigorously" so I'm guessing it will work up a bit wobbly and needs the blocking to lay flat.

      I have a granny Prayer Shawl I'm fond of & have made quite a few of. I'm wondering if I could use a mega hook, say an S, with 2 strands of homespun by Lion Brand. What do you think?

      I came across this shawl pattern on Pinterest in a list of others and just started it last night. it is working up quickly and I think it will be really pretty. Picture on website is just of the first few rows because instructions tell to you work to desired length after getting your "repeat" started.

      I would like instructions on making a shawl using the shell pattern all the way through it I would like it to be a large one. I have looked all over but cannot find a free pattern to follow .
      Thank you for all your help.

        Hi Brenda! There are lots of shell patterns out there, so I'm not sure which one you're referring to. This one is free, uses the shell stitch, and since it starts at the point, you can add to it until you have the size you like: http://www.yarnspirations.com/patterns/yes-yes-shawl.html
