Easy Crochet Scarf and Shawl Patterns
Easy crochet scarf and shawl patterns add a simple stitch repeat, stripes, or basic triangle shaping to the plain rectangle. They are relaxing projects that grow steadily and need no fitting. Easy triangle shawls usually increase at the same points every row, so the rhythm becomes predictable after a few repeats.

How does a simple triangle shawl grow?
A simple top-down triangle shawl grows by adding stitches at both outer edges and on both sides of a center spine every row or every right-side row. That produces two triangles side by side that together form one larger triangle, widening evenly as the rows progress.
