When looking for a stitch for my next shawl i was going with something a little more plainer in mind, i just find sometimes a really plain stitch like the one i used for this pattern can still look really beautiful without all the fanciness. This stitch pattern has vertical stripes using double crochet stitches with chain spaces in between and i think it gives it more of an elegant kind of feel. When i started working this rectangle shawl it was such an easy one to get into where there wasn't a lot of thinking involved but the results still came out beautiful and was worked up quickly.

Darla Asymmetrical Shawl
The Darla Asymmetrical Shawl is made up of double crochet stitches and chain spaces with increasing on the one side, to help me remember the side i need to increase on i always use a stitch marker, i just place it in to any stitch on the side that i increase on so i know when i see that stitch marker i will be increasing at the start or at the end of the row, but other than that its very easy to crochet.
Boux Asymmetrical Shawl
When sat there working the Boux rectangle shawl up which you can find here, i came up with the idea of doing an asymmetrical shawl using the same stitch pattern. Now i will be very honest, in the past when designing an asymmetrical shawl i always used the filet crochet method and i had never designed a shawl with an actual stitch pattern so it took a little more working out than normal (but not as much as the one that i am currently working on, new pattern coming soon YAY!) but the Boux asymmetrical shawl turned out just how i wanted it and it is actually one of my most personal favorites to date, i think because there was a sense of achievement in something i had never done before.
Oceanside Triangle Scarf: Easy Crochet Pattern
This triangle scarf is easily worked with simple stitches, and quickly creates a classic looking accessory to wear! This pattern is worked in rows using chains and double crochet stitches. You can easily customize the size of the scarf by adding or omitting rows, and the simple pattern repeat makes this design fun and easy to work up ! An interesting difference in this scarf pattern are the button and loop added to the corner ends of the last row worked - the button attaches to the loop, which helps to keep the scarf around your neck! It's a great pattern because: Scarves are quick and fun projects to work up! Have fun with yarn color to make this simple fabric your own style; color blocking, stripes, ombre, variegated and more! This project works great with cotton yarns, and plant-based fibers! You'll get to practice a lot of crochet skills: increasing in rows, stitch tension, gauge and size, blocking, finishing techniques and more!
Boux Shawl
The Boux shawl is a very easy beginner shawl pattern with a lovely mesh look which makes it very light and airy for a worsted weight shawl. When i worked this pattern up i will be honest i wasn't expecting it to be so long but i think because of how the stitches are it made it a lot longer than my other shawl patterns, i mean it's not a bad thing it was just quite unexpected but i still love how it turned out and even though its a one row repeat which can get boring quite fast i didn't find this one did to be honest. I managed to work this one up in between homeschooling, my other job and running a house so it was a nice fast easy project on the hook.
Devon Sideways Shawl Free Crochet Pattern
Today's free crochet pattern is the Devon Sideways Shawl and this beautiful shawl is a filet crochet pattern meaning that it just uses the double crochet stitch and the chain stitch. I designed a filet crochet blanket not long ago of broken chevrons and wanted to do that as a shawl but i got a bit carried away and in the end it didn't end up as broken chevrons, it ended up as a double chevron but don't worry the broken chevrons is still on my list to do. This crochet pattern is very easy as it consists of working it row by row, flat and sideways and it works up super quick! This shawl only took me 4 days to complete and then a few extra days for blocking. Even though this pattern is a filet crochet pattern i still like to block my shawls as it gives it more of a crisper finish and it lays more flat.
