Rectangular Lacy Crochet Shawl – A Delicate Wrap with a Cozy Touch

 

There’s something timeless and comforting about a simple lace shawl, and I’m so excited to share this new rectangular version of a recent favorite. If you’re looking for a project that’s light, elegant, and surprisingly warm, this shawl might be the perfect fit for your hooks.

This design uses the same stitch pattern I recently used in a triangle shawl. 

But I’ve reworked it into a classic rectangle for those who prefer the clean lines and versatility of this shape. It drapes beautifully, whether worn across the shoulders, wrapped like a scarf, or layered as a cozy evening wrap.

For this project, I used Alize Angora Gold in color 28 Rose—a dusty, vintage pink with a soft, airy texture and delicate halo. This yarn is a Turkish blend of 80% acrylic and 20% wool, and it offers both lightness and warmth, which is a rare and lovely combination.

• Yarn: Alize Angora Gold

• Color: 28 Rose

• Fiber content: 80% acrylic, 20% wool

• Skein size: 100g = 601 yds (550 m)

• Amount used: 155g (just over 1.5 skeins)

• Hook: G / 4.25 mm

• Finished size: 55 x 18 inches (140 x 46 cm)

While the open lace makes this shawl look delicate, the wool content gives it real warmth. It’s ideal for transitional seasons or layering in cooler weather.

If you’d prefer a shawl that’s more breathable and summery, you might enjoy using YarnArt Flowers—a 55% cotton / 45% acrylic blend that still gives lovely stitch definition and drape but with a cooler touch. Any cotton-blend yarn with a similar weight should work well with this stitch pattern.
