Introduction
Looking for a simple and cozy crochet triangle shawl pattern to keep you cozy this winter? The Homebody Shawl is the perfect project for you!
This free pattern uses basic crochet stitches to create a triangle shawl that can seamlessly go from your cozy couch to the beach on a chilly night to a nice evening out.
Inspiration
Lion Brand had a sale on yarn and I had been wanting to try the Homespun yarn for some time. So I snatched up 10 skeins of this yarn for $1 each!
Once I got the yarn, it was then time to figure out what I was going to make with it.
I originally got enough of this yarn to make a blanket (blankets are one of my favorite crochet projects!). But inspiration struck one day and decided I wanted to make a cozy shawl out of it. I knew this yarn would be perfect for making a bulkier shawl that would be super warm and cozy.
About the Yarn
The yarn used in the sample photos is Lion Brand Homespun which is a category 5 bulky weight yarn. This yarn can be a little difficult to work with given the nature of it. It is fuzzy and can be hard to see the stitches as you’re working.
This is one of those yarns that you feel where the stitches are more than you can see them.
With that being said, I’ve written this beautiful shawl pattern to be worked with any type of yarn. Use any yarn weight from fingering weight yarn to worsted weight yarn to super bulky weight yarn and any type of fiber your heart desires!
I’m thinking of making this easy crochet pattern as a lightweight shawl with dk weight yarn. I’ll be sure to share with you when I do!
Techniques Used
This simple pattern uses only very basic crochet stitches to really let the beauty of the yarn shine. You’ll use slip stitches, chain stitches, and single crochets throughout the entire design, including the border. This makes it a perfect project for beginner crocheters.
The stitch used for this crochet triangle shawl pattern is called the linen or moss stitch.
I chose this stitch because I knew it would work up quickly and would be easier to work with this very textured yarn. With the chain spaces throughout the pattern, it’s much easier to feel where your next st should go.

Gauge
Gauge is not important for this project as it is written to be worked with any type of yarn and to your desired length/width. I’ve included the gauge for the shawl in the sample photos for reference.
11 sts and 11 rows of the moss/linen Stitch is 4″ x 4″ (10x10cm)
Finished Measurements
82” (208cm) wide on the straight edge
44” (112cm) from beginning center to center point
Note: Finished measurements are of the shawl in the sample photos and using the materials listed. You can customize your crochet triangle shawl to any size you like.
Materials
4 balls Lion Brand Homespun (or any weight or yarn of your choice, see notes)
US Size L/11/8mm crochet hook (or appropriately sized hook for the yarn that you’re using, see notes)
Stitch marker (1-3, optional)
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Scissors
Notes
– This crochet triangle shawl pattern is written to be worked with any weight of yarn. I recommend using a hook size 1 – 2mm larger than your yarn calls for (mine is worked with an 8 mm crochet hook while the yarn called for a 6.5 mm crochet hook) to get a nice, drapey shawl.
– In the stitch index for the picot stitch you have the option to ch 2 or 3. For the shawl in the photos made with Homespun yarn, I worked a ch 3 because it wasn’t prominent enough for my liking with the ch 2. If you’re using a lighter yarn or a yarn with more stitch definition, you will probably want to work a ch 2. If you’re unsure, try both and see which you like better! You may also substitute any version of the picot stitch if you’d prefer.
