Omna Shawl – Free Crochet Pattern

Cosy, squishy and huge, this free pattern for a crochet shawl makes a lovely crochet blanket scarf to add style to your winter outfits. Wear it as a wrap around your shoulders, or as a cosy scarf to drape around your neck to keep those cold winds at bay.

Omna Shawl – Omna is the Irish word for Oak tree. On the day we took these pictures, I remember looking around at the beautiful trees and seeing oak leaves on the ground.

The pattern is an easy design. The first few rows require concentration, but I have included step by step photos to help the process. I used 2 balls of King Cole Curiosity yarn to make my shawl, but any DK weight yarn would work as well. Gradient cake yarns makes a gorgeous wrap, and only a few threads to weave in! I included the multiples for the pattern, so you can make your shawl any width you choose.

Fold each piece in half and attach to the points on both ends of wrap.
