What is Crochet Lace?

For the purposes of this roundup, crochet lace refers to any crochet stitch combination that creates large, open spaces. Most of the patterns featured here are lightweight shawls that are super breathable and perfect to throw over a summer outfit or evening dress as a thin layer.

Some of the crochet lace patterns used in these shawls are a little more dense. However, they still have the characteristic openings of “lace.” These heavier lace shawls would be great to add warmth with a feminine touch.

Pin for later!

Types of Crochet Lace in These Free Shawl Patterns

One of my favourite things about crochet lace is the variety of interesting stitch patterns! If you’re an experienced crocheter looking for a new stitch to try, lace provides almost endless variety.

Some lace shawl designs use chains to create openings. Others use tall stitches (double crochet stitches, trebles, etc.). You’ll find shells, V stitches, filet crochet, or combinations of these stitches. Some incorporate solid sections or contrasting colours. I’ve even included a Tunisian crochet shawl.

You’ll notice every shawl in this roundup uses a unique stitch pattern. They’re delightful to look at and even more fun to crochet!

Square Sun Lacy Crochet Shawl

This lacy shawl features the spider stitch, which combines blocks of solid single crochet with chains and treble crochet stitches to make the rays of the "sun." It's a fun pattern to learn and yields impressive results.

Similar to the spider stitch shawl above, this shawl also alternates solid sections (double crochet triangles) with open sections. The pattern is rated as easy and uses less than two skeins of worsted weight ombre yarn.

Easy Asymmetrical Crochet Lace Shawl

This fun asymmetrical shawl design (sometimes called a boomerang shawl) starts at a point and gradually increases in size. You'll make the increases on one side of the shawl while the other side gradually decreases in steps, which creates "points" along the edge.

Modified Butterfly Shawl

The this gorgeous shawl uses two contrasting or complimentary yarn colours to highlight its crescent shape. The horizontal stripes, along with the intricate stitches of the lace section, frame the wearer's face and make the shawl stand out.

Laura's Emerald Green Scarf

While it's technically called a scarf, this diamond lace pattern was just too pretty to pass up. And this extra-wide scarf is plenty wide to wrap around your shoulders like a shawl. The pattern is deceptively quick and easy to work, made of only chains, single, and double crochets.

Elegant Crochet Lace Fan Shawl

The beautiful lacy texture in this shawl is called the feather and fan stitch pattern. It's a popular stitch for shawls and wraps but this designer has figured out how to make it into a triangle shawl! This light shawl works well for spring and summer.
