With so many styling options and crochet techniques, you can make these free crochet triangle shawl patterns for any season, which is why I’ve loved putting this selection together!

I’ve made sure to include many options, so that you can find one that suits your skill level and purpose for crocheting. You’ll find shawls for summer, lacy wraps for spring, and thick ones for winter. They also use so many fabulous crochet stitches to give them that elegant drape.

How do you crochet a shawl pattern?

The key to success is choosing a pattern that uses stitches and a construction that you feel comfortable with or have a bit of prior knowledge about. I’ve chosen all sorts of projects with patterns ranging from beginner through to more advanced with colorwork that you can really get your teeth (or hooks!) into.

One of the wonderful things about crocheting shawls such as these is that you don’t have to worry about seaming or weaving in a lot of ends. Most of them are constructed in one piece and if you’re using cakes or larger amounts of yarn, you won’t even have to fasten off often.

While all of these shawls are triangular, they’re all unique in their own way. Some are lacy or have detailed borders, others are more simplistic and perfect for beginners. Depending on what you want to get into, you can choose your preferred free crochet triangle shawl pattern.

How do I choose the right pattern for me?

Choosing the right crochet wrap pattern to make completely depends on what you’d like to make, who you’re making it for and what experience you have with crochet.

Firstly, you need to make something that you know you have a use for and have been wanting to make. There is no point in crocheting something that you don’t love. Also, you should keep in mind when you’ll be making your project. Is it something you’ll be working on the go? If yes, a pattern repeat which is easier to memorize would be best so you can crochet it up mindlessly.

Secondly, you need to choose a pattern that sits with your skill level and experience. I’ve added various details to all the patterns to save you the work of delving into them and finding out if they are right for you.

Crochet designers are so helpful with their patterns and give so many great instructions, so you should definitely venture to the more adventurous side and try something advanced if you’re in the mood for it!

It’s vital that you find a pattern that has been tech edited and tested and I know that each and every one of these has been. Some of them have video tutorials too which is an amazing bonus for working out more complex parts.

What crochet stitches will I need to know?

Each of the patterns that I’ve included use mostly simple stitches like the single crochet stitch (sc), half double crochet (hdc) and double crochet (dc) stitches.

There are a few that use more advanced techniques because I didn’t want you to limit yourself if you’ve already encountered or would like to learn these stitches. All of these patterns have helpful instructions about anything special they’re using.

Supplies for Crochet Shawls

Yarn

The pattern will let you know the recommended yarn that the designer used, the weight (referred to as category) and the amount of yarn you’ll need for each size. I’ve added the information about the yarns with each pattern for you to take a look.

If you need more help on yarn weights, I have a handy yarn weight chart.

One of the most important things when choosing the perfect yarn is usually to make sure that you work a gauge swatch. But since most of these patterns aren’t wearables, you don’t really have to worry about that.

Hook

Your pattern will let you know the hook size that the designer used but you can always adjust according to the yarn you’re using or if your stitches are tighter/looser than most people’s.
