Crochet Rectangular Shawls and Wraps Patterns

Are you looking for the perfect accessory to add to your wardrobe? Crochet Rectangle Shawls are one of the most practical yet fashionable accessories a crocheter can make, as they are versatile, stylish, and functional. They are ideal for any season, keeping you warm during the colder months and adding a stylish layer to your summer wardrobe during the warmer months. 

You can wear a crochet rectangular shawl wrap draped over your shoulders, wrapped around your neck like a scarf, or even as a light throw blanket on a chilly evening. The simple shape of a crochet rectangle wrap allows for endless creativity, from intricate lace designs to modern minimalist styles. 

Crochet rectangular wraps are beginner-friendly but still offer enough variety to keep seasoned crocheters entertained. 

This blog post features a roundup of 18 free crochet rectangle shawl and wrap patterns. Each of these crochet wrap patterns comes with detailed instructions, making it easy to get started. 


Looking for a specific style of shawl? Here are some of the crochet rectangle wrap patterns included in this roundup of free crochet patterns:

  • Textured Stripes Shawl – A mix of stitches creates a lovely texture, making this shawl both warm and stylish.

  • Color-Blocked Shawl – Play with different colors of yarn for a modern, eye-catching design.

  • Light and Lacy Shawl – Perfect for summer, this shawl uses a lightweight yarn and an airy stitch pattern to create a delicate design.

  • Granny Stripe Shawl – A classic pattern that combines simplicity with bold colors for a stylish finish.


Choosing the Right Yarn

Most of these crochet shawl patterns call for lightweight to medium-weight yarn. To make it easy, I have included the yarn weight and hook size for each wrap. Be sure to choose a yarn that suits the pattern and the season you plan to wear your shawl in. Choose lightweight yarns for spring and summer, and bulkier yarns for fall and winter. The versatility of these patterns means you can create the perfect shawl for any time of year.
