What are the Best Crochet Stitches for Shawls?

Most of the shawls included use only basic crochet stitches – single crochet stitch, half double crochet stitch, double crochet stitch, and chains to create open stitches.

Using these main stitches in certain combinations can create some really lovely designs, without being complicated or difficult to crochet.

Yarn for Crochet Shawls

Shawls are great because you can use any type of yarn. Wool, acrylic, cotton, or a blend! Wool and acrylic yarns are best for fall and winter shawls to keep you nice and warm. Cotton or a cotton blend yarn would be a great option for spring and summer shawls.

Each shawl crochet pattern will include details for the yarn used for the shawl and the crochet hook size that you require.
