Free crochet patterns for Cowls, Scarves, and Shawls

  • Autumn Air - a free crochet pattern on Stitches n Scraps

    Free Pattern – Autumn Air

    Autumn is in the air! The Autumn Air cowl, with its blocks of fall colors, will take you through the season in style. This entrelac technique is a great introduction to the basics of Tunisian crochet, because it's worked one small square at a time. I am releasing this design in sections, as a crochet along. Please see the main Autumn Air Cowl Crochet Along post for information on how to participate. This pattern post will be updated with new sections as they are released.

  • It's Fall Y'all Shawl

    It’s Fall Y’all Shawl Crochet Pattern

    It's fall, y'all! Wrap yourself in this fall shawl, with self-striping yarn in the colors of the season. Or opt for a solid color to highlight the lacy, cabled texture. Either way, the It's Fall Y'all Shawl will take you into autumn in style.

  • Norwood Park - A free crochet pattern on Stitches n Scraps

    Free Pattern – Norwood Park

    Norwood Park combines color blocking with a unique, asymmetrical, "V" shape. Lightweight yarn and tapered ends make it light enough for spring weather, even when wrapped around. The beginner friendly pattern uses an unconventional decrease, which is not only easier to do, but also helps to avoid extra bulk along the edges.

  • Avondale Scarf - a free crochet pattern on StitchesNScraps.com

    Free Pattern – Avondale Scarf

    A little bit casual and a little bit quirky, the Avondale Scarf could easily become your go-to accessory for the season! The bold stripes in neutral colors have a unisex appeal that's great for work or weekend wear. Add in the herringbone texture, with its slightly zigzag edge, and you have a piece that's as much fun to make as it is to wear!

  • Streeterville Cowl - a free crochet pattern on StitchesNScraps.com

    Free Pattern – Streeterville Cowl

    Stay warm and cozy without a lot of bulk! The Streeterville cowl works up quickly, and the linen stitch pattern creates a light and drapey fabric. I designed this for the yarn from one of my early attempts at spinning. The stitch pattern really allows the texture of uneven or thick-and-thin yarns to shine, so it's great for novice spinners! It softens color transitions too, so works well with self-striping yarns.

  • Free Pattern – Bridgeport Scarf

    Make the classic, striking, and uncomplicated Bridgeport Scarf in all your favorite colors! Keep it neutral for a business casual look, go bold with brights, or show your support for your favorite team. Lighter weight yarn makes it perfect for autumn weather, while a simple hdc variation ads subtle texture and fabulous drape. 

  • Sargassum - a free crochet pattern on StitchesNScraps.com

    Free Pattern – Sargassum

    Capture the feeling of delicate, lacy strands of seaweed, white sand beaches littered with shells, and the sparkle of sunshine on the clear, blue ocean. Sargassum is the name of a seaweed that washes ashore on the gulf beaches of Florida, where I recently went for a vacation. The days were full of warm sunshine, but there was still enough of a chill in the early mornings and late evenings to make this shawl a welcome accessory. The striping pattern gently shifts from more green to more blue, without repeating, while optional beads add a nice weight, and occasional sparkle as they catch the sunlight.

  • Resistance - a free crochet pattern on StitchesNScraps.com

    Free Pattern – Resistance

    Show your resistance to injustice, bigotry and hate with his bold, zig-zag scarf. The eye-catching motif is the symbol used on electric circuit diagrams to indicate a resistor.

  • Impetuous Easy Crochet Cowl Pattern

    Easy Crochet Cowl – Impetuous

    Be breezy, bright, and ready for spring! This easy crochet cowl works up super quickly, and is completely customizable too. Make a whole rainbow of cowls for every occasion.

  • The Grape Beyond - A free pattern on StitchesNScraps.com

    Free Pattern – The Grape Beyond

    Get your grape on with this bold, puffy cowl! Cluster stitches “grapes” pop out of a lighter, two-toned background. It’s fast and fun to make, and the size can easily be adjusted. Since it’s worked in the round, the colors can easily be carried from one section to the next, meaning fewer ends to weave in. Try other colors too, and make one for everyone on your gift list! I’m breaking through // I’m bending spoons // I’m keeping flowers in full bloom // I’m looking for answers from the great beyond. (R.E.M. – The Great Beyond) This pattern is protected by copyright.
