I love these crochet shawl patterns and crochet cowl patterns! From lacy shawls to chunky scarves, you'll find something for everyone on this list!

Divine Drape Cowl If this cowl is one thing, it's a summer-to-autumn wardrobe staple that would look great in any color, at virtually any length. And if it's two things, it's also yet another one of my attempts at the absolute perfect cowl design: not too bulky around the back of the neck, but with enough fun in the front to attract some attention. And heck, while we're at it - why not make it THREE things -- or in other words, your next project? ;) Yarn: Premier Yarns Cotton Fair (52% Cotton, 48% Acrylic; 317 yards [290 meters]/100 grams); #27-09 Lavender - one skein The main stitch pattern. Airy and pretty, no? Needles: Straight needles in size US 3, straight needles in size US 4, straight needles in size US 8, and straight needles in size US 5 for provisional cast-on Notions: Tapestry needle Gauge: 23 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette on size US 4 needles So let's make a cowl! Using your size 5 needles and a length of scrap yarn, then, cast on 35 stitches provisionally. Transfer work to your size 4 needles and knit two transition rows, as follows: Transition Row 1 (wrong side): purl Transition Row 2: knit Knit these two transition rows, and then transfer work to your size 3 needles and we'll work a ribbing for a bit, like so: Ribbing Row 1 (wrong side): p1, * k1, p1; rep from * until you reach the end of the row Ribbing Row 2: k1, * p1, k1 * Knit ribbing rows 1 & 2 until piece measures roughly 7.5" and you've just finished a right side row. Transfer work back to your size US 4 needles. Then we'll work a few more transition rows, as follows. You'll need the following notation to continue: lifted increase (li): insert right-hand needle straight through the middle of the next stitch in the row below, and knit; then knit the stitch on your needle normally And once you're clear on that, continue like so: Transition Row 1 (wrong side): purl Transition Row 2: knit Transition Row 3: purl Transition Row 4: knit Transition Row 5: purl Transition Row 6: * li * (70 stitches) Transition Row 7: purl Work transition rows 1 - 7. Transfer work to your size US 8 needles, and then we'll begin the main pattern, which is Rick Rib from page 260 of Barbara G. Walker's A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns, and goes like so: Row 1 (right side): k1, * yo, slip 1 stitch purlwise with yarn in back, k1, pass slipped stitch over (psso); rep from *; end k1 Row 2: p1, * yo, slip 1 stitch purlwise with yarn in front, p1, psso; rep from *; end p1 Knit rows 1 & 2 until piece measures roughly 24" (of course you can also make it longer), and you've just finished a right-side row. Transfer work back to your size 4 needles. Then we'll work some final transition rows, which you'll find below: Transition Row 1 (wrong side): purl Transition Row 2: * k2tog * (35 stitches) Transition Row 3: purl Transition Row 4: knit Knit transition rows 1 - 4. Leave working stitches on one needle, and then transfer your provisional cast-on stitches back to your other size 4 needle. Using the Kitchener stitch, graft. Tuck in ends, and, if desired, block (but I wouldn't stretch out the back ribbing, since having it all folded up nicely is the point!).

Knit Campfire Shawl Free Knitting Patterns

Hello! A couple of days ago, I finally finished this, my 'started first / finished second' Mara shawl. It's for Jacquie, my Mother-in-law, who a couple of weeks ago moved to the town on the South Coast that we ourselves are moving down to in a couple of weeks.* Once again, I have used yarn frogged from an earlier project - Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed in Paper Rose colour way. This Mara version follows the pattern, using yarnover increases, until the cast off - I tried out “Jenny’s surprisingly stretchy bind-off” for the first time, but I think it has left the fringe almost too loose. The Mara pattern’s instructions for binding off are my preferred technique. And, while the yarn is wonderfully soft and is beautifully light weight, it isn't very strong; I wouldn't use it to sew seams if I had made a garment from it - I would use something strong and sturdy. Once again, "Yay" for the Mara Shawl pattern from madeleinetosh.com (but available on ravelry.com)! I have already begun another one, but this time for myself!! But I am having fun....., even if I'm not packing as many boxes as I should!! Sharing with Creative Spaces here. Sam xx *A couple of weeks? Aahhh!!!!

Thank goodness for easy knitted shawls. They are practical and can be worn as a lightweight layer in summer as well as a scarf in winter.
