21 Beautiful, Cozy Shawl Patterns Perfect for Gift Knitting, Travel Knitting, or TV Knitting

These shawl patterns have all been picked due to their simplicity and ease of construction. As a disclaimer, I have not personally made all of these shawls. Some I have, other shawls have been knitted and suggested by viewers, and others I chose based upon their difficulty rating and project pages on Ravelry.

    Hi! I just happened to see your podcast. I love garter stitch in shawls too: for the squishy fabric it creates and also because it makes it reversible, no really wrong or right side. Shawls are perfect this year for this spring and upcoming summer: in France, west coast, it's rainy and rather coldish ! Have a nice Sunday. Looking forward for more episodes 😊

    Amber, I put the Farmhouse Shawl and Vertices Unite on my Make9 2022 board and have yet to make them. They will carry over to 2023 as I still really want to make those two specifically. Thank you for sharing these. So many beautiful shawls. Also, can't wait for the scrappy patterns. I love making scrappy projects. I have several scrappy blankets on the go.

    Free Ravelry pattern: Just Knit It by Susan Ashcroft - this is a simple all garter stitch shawl that is knit bottom up. You can add fringe, icord, tassels, lace (if you know how to do that), stripes, one color yarn or fancy. I’ve made it a few times in different yarn weights and types. This video reminded me of it (thank you Amber). I’m going to knit it again.

    I loved this episode. There have been a lot of compilation-type videos lately, but, in my opinion, this was the best one! I loved that you had made some of these shawls and could show real examples; I loved that you shared both free and paid-for patterns; I love that you shared what you specifically liked about each shawl. I recently finished a shawl that might fit into this category as well: the Cabin Path Shawl by Helen Stewart. I found it very meditative and relaxing.

It’s a stole / wide scarf depending on how wide or skinny you want to make it and you can make it as long or short as you want as well. ♥️ I believe it’s by Hedgehog fibers

    I have such a bad habit of writing to you. For about 5 years now I have been making shawls for this one church that gives out free Christmas dinner. You can donate money which would be cheaper but I have tried to make at least 4 shawls and a few cowls. Now this year I am getting a Thanksgiving dinner and I am making hats for children and I have some mittens that just need to be sewed up . Now this church is hooked to the homeless shelter and the pastor told me that he will make sure that they receive them. Now with my shawls this year I only have 2 done. One is from Outlander and the other one is from crochet crowded, I would love to make more but I am still pretty ill and it has been easier for me to make the hats for the shelter. I loved the shawls especially the farmhouse shawls. I love your podcasts and handwork. Take care and enjoy your holidays

About 30 years ago my son was playing with a friend who was wearing cool whip bowls taped around his feel and no hat or mittens. I actually got my coat and went a store bought a book to teach me how to make both for that boy and his family. I still use the book .

    I've found the Vertices Unite sizable for thicker yarns. It is not a pattern that requires being a laceweight project to work. Given there are two sizes for fingering weight shawls, a small and a large, you can use thicker yarn on bigger needles, which gives fewer stitches to the gauge, and knit the small size for a large shawl in DK, worsted or fancy yarns. It's a great pattern for playing with and using up those odd larger yarns we tend to move away from using. One of mine is scaled to use chunky yarn on large needles.

    Thank you for taking the time to make this video, Amber! I added quite a few of your suggestions to my “dream knitting” list and I will definitely be revisiting this video for inspiration! I would also add the “Oakley Shawl” and “Restful Shawl”; both of those shawls that you’ve knit looked relaxing and enjoyable to knit. The “Color Craze Shawl” was also really fun and fairly easy; although the brioche may be difficult for beginners and the minis may be difficult to juggle for travel knitting 🤔 I have some drops air in my stash and every time I see you bring out your “Dotted Stripes” shawl, I want to cast it on. It looks so cozy and I think it would make the perfect gift. My grandma has been wanting a black shawl so I may try to make that for her next year 🤍

Wildwood is a free pattern made lovely in a wooly wool yarn. I wear it over my coat and finally my go to pattern which is free, Kari Shawl. Love it!

    Hi Margaret. It's been awhile since I filmed this episode so I'm not sure what I was referring to when speaking about garter. However, garter stitch fabric is achieved when you knit every row when knitting flat or, in the case of knitting in the round, you knit a round and then purl a round. It gives you a squishy fabric with little bump ridges the whole way along. I hope that helps.
