5 FREE Shawl Patterns to Prepare for Springtime

Spring is just around the corner.

Which means it’s almost time to shift from knitting those warm winter items so something more…

Elegant.

While I’m personally not a big shawl (or lace) knitter, I know that they are extremely popular amongst hand knitters.

So I’ve created a round up of some of my favorite, FREE shawl patterns.

Our favorite FREE shawl projects for springtime

These projects are ones I either found personally interesting or were VERY popular already.

But just because something is popular doesn’t mean you’ve heard about it before.

So here are a few FREE shawls you might enjoy knitting up.

Reyna by Noora Backlund

This pattern was specifically designed to help use up a single skein of sock yarn. It has no gauge and can easily be modified for different yardage amounts. It also has 15,000+ projects on Ravelry!

Wild Swan by Anne-Lise Maigaard & Nim Teasdale

Honestly I have no clue why this shawl pattern is available for free. It's complex lace patterns could easily be charged for. But lucky for you it's available to everyone to enjoy!

Traveling Woman by L Abinante

When I got started knitting it seemed everyone was making this shawl. It's quick to knit and has a lot of symbolism from the designer. And that lace section looks incredible!
