Crochet a lace, lightweight triangle shawl with one of these free crochet patterns!
I love a nice symmetrical triangle shawl for many reasons:
- First of all, they are fun to crochet!
Once you learn the basic crochet stitches, and you’re tired of making squares or rectangles, triangle shawls are the perfect next step.
You’ll learn how to increase, how to crochet a triangle, and most likely, a beautiful, new, lace stitch!
To continue with the reasons why I love triangle shawls, let’s just say:
- Simple triangle shawls are versatile to wear with any outfit. You can wear them around your neck, to cover your shoulders on a chill summer night, or use them on the beach as a pareo or sarong!
- They make great gifts for friends and family;
- When you crochet your shawl with a gradient yarn cake, the color effect is just stunning;
- But if you don’t have a yarn cake, shawls can be great stash busters. Just mix & match any leftover yarn you have in your stash!
20 Free Crochet Triangle Shawl Patterns
In this post, I collected 20 of my favorite crochet triangle shawl patterns that are perfect for Spring and Summer.
For each shawl, I’ll find the link to the free pattern, the yarn that the designer used, and the hook size.
This way, you can easily decide which shawl to make also based on what yarn and hook you already have.
In any case, remember that most patterns are a simple repeat of one, two, three, or more rows.
So, you can freely change the yarn weight and hook size, and keep crocheting the basic pattern repeat until you reach the desired size for your shawl!
