Shawl Knitting Patterns

Free Shawl Knitting Patterns For Every Skill Level

Each of the shawl knitting patterns below combine my love of knitting with cozy, sensible style. After all, who doesn’t love wrapping themselves up in a soft, hand-knit shawl on a chilly day? Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or lounging at home, a hand knit shawl is the best way to keep warm and feel beautiful at the same time.

I find that shawls are a great way for one to advance their knitting skills beyond basic blankets and dish towels.  For beginners, shawl patterns provide an opportunity to practice basic stitches and shaping techniques, while more advanced knitters can challenge themselves with lacework and cable stitches.

Plus, hand knit shawls make the most thoughtful gifts!  They offer warmth not just for the body, but for the soul as well, enveloping the wearer in a sense of comfort and security that only a handmade gift can provide. With every wear, they’ll be reminded of your thoughtfulness and the warmth of your friendship or love.  You can also infuse your work with positive affirmations, thoughts and blessing as you knit.  The resulting “prayer shawl” provides comfort, solace, and support to the recipient. When a prayer shawl is given to someone, it is intended to wrap them in love, warmth, and the caring thoughts of the person who made it.

So, whether you’re looking for a relaxing repetitive knitting experience, to create a thoughtful gift, or a fun project to push your skills to the next level, there’s a shawl knitting pattern here with your name on it. Trust me, there’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of finishing a beautiful shawl.
