Get Cozy with This Free Knitted Shawl Pattern

December 12, 2016 by FaveCrafts 5 Comments

We had our first snow this past week. Our cool fall weather dipped below freezing, and we were hit with 6.4″ of heaping snow in one afternoon. With the temperature staying close to the freezing point each day since, that snow is here to stay. Now that winter has finally arrived, it’s time to bust out our favorite seasonal items. We’ll get that fireplace crackling and that hot cocoa made. We’ll bake some delicious cookies and rest on the couch while our favorite winter movies play. For the next few months, we’ll be hibernating indoors, which gives us plenty of time to whip up this fantastic free knitted shawl pattern.

This free knitted shawl pattern is a great project for keeping warm this winter. The yarn is so irresistibly soft and comfortable that you’ll want to drape it around you whenever you can. It’s perfect for reading, watching movies, or curling up with a mug of cocoa on the couch. Even better, this free knitted shawl pattern is easy to make, so you’ll have your new favorite winter craft done up in no time!

    I can’t find the “Save” button to save patterns. Why am I missing it?

    Oh I love this shawl! Shawl patterns that are basically big scarves/wraps are my favorite.

    I’M A REAL NOVICE ON THIS… BUT, I JUST LOVE ALL THE STUFF, SHAWLS, ETC.

    PLS. TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “KNITTING N CROCHETING”..???
    WHICH ONE IS WITH ONE NEEDLE..??
    WHICH ONE IS WITH TWO NEEDLES..??
    SORRY, BUT, I WANT TO LEARN BOTH OR AT LEAST ONE…
    I WANT THE ONE FOR BLANKETS N SCARVES, AFGHANS…

    TY, ALICE

    Alicia, knitting is done on two needles or on a knitting loom. Rocket is done with one “needle” or hook.
