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.

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.
Tela Crochet Triangle Shawl
Whether you wear it around your neck or around your shoulders, the Tela crochet triangle shawl will be a staple accessory for cooler weather. You'll love the simple construction and easy stitches paired with modern stripes. There are really only two stitches you need to have mastered before you take on this shawl: chains and half double crochets. That's it as far as stitches. There are, however, some techniques you should be familiar with like working in chain spaces and working multiple stitches in the same spaces.
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.
Kaylee Sideways Shawl Free Crochet Pattern
"Today's free crochet pattern is the Kaylee Sideways Shawl which features a very easy stitch design. The stitch used for this shawl only uses single and double crochet and chain stitches to create a mesh effect running all the way through the shawl. When i first started this shawl i did think this might take a while to do just because of the single crochet stitches but actually i made it in no time at all and it only used 4 skeins of cascade 220 in aran which is really good! Also when crocheting this shawl i only crocheted 66 inches in length because i could just tell due to the stitches that it was going to stretch quite a bit when blocking and boy did it, it went from 66 inches to 75 inches in length which is a lot of growth! So just bear that in mind when crocheting this shawl it is a grower, you really don't want it too long."
Brianna Sideways Shawl Free Crochet Pattern
"The Brianna Sideways Shawl is a bit different than other shawls i have done as i normally design them lacy but this stitch really stood out to me and not everyone wants to have a shawl that has lots of lace so i combined moss stitch with puff stitches and then threw in some hdc stitches to give it a bit of a break from such confined stitches and i really think it works! Working moss stitch in to a piece gives it a textured look and this area actually worked up really quick even though it consists of chain and single crochet stitches. Because of the closed stitches i would recommend it being more of a autumn winter shawl but this would actually look great as a scarf also! Please note this is a beginner plus crochet pattern."
