Make a cozy men’s crochet shawl that’s perfect for charitable giving or thoughtful gifting. This simple one-row repeat pattern is an excellent choice for group projects and has been a favorite among prayer shawl groups looking for meaningful, relaxing patterns to work on together.
The shawl is made using half double crochet stitches worked in the back loop only, which creates a beautiful ribbed texture with a soft, stretchy feel.

The yarn used—Furls Wander, a dense acrylic—adds a comforting weight to the shawl, making it feel extra warm and substantial.
Thanks to the drapey stitch pattern, the finished fabric has a wonderful way of expanding and wrapping the wearer in softness. The pattern includes two sizing options: one longer and narrower, the other shorter and wider.
Both require about the same amount of yarn, letting you choose the shape that suits your project best.
Whether you’re crocheting this men’s crochet shawl for a community outreach program, a local donation event, or simply as a handmade gift from the heart, I hope you enjoy every stitch of this thoughtful and practical pattern.
