Free Shawl Patterns
Free crochet and knitting shawl and wrap patterns, from simple to stunning. HoneyBee catalogs free shawl patterns — triangle, crescent, rectangular, and lace — each linking to its free source. Shawls are the perfect showcase project: one skein of special yarn, a repeating chart, and a wearable finished piece. Filter by craft, difficulty, and yarn weight. Beginners can start with a simple garter or single-crochet triangle; experienced makers can dive into intricate lace and beaded designs. Fingering-weight yarn is traditional for shawls and gives the best drape, but you'll find quick worsted-weight wraps too. Every pattern lists the designer and community ratings.
