This pattern was designed with giving in mind. AllFreeCrochet and AllFreeKnitting partnered with JourneyCare Home Health and Hospice to collect crocheted and knit shawls for hospice patients, and with nearly half of recipients being male, unisex patterns like this one are incredibly valuable.

The simple, classic stitch creates a calm, comforting look that feels appropriate and welcoming for all.

Worked flat in rows from start to finish, this shawl uses a one-row repeat that’s easy to memorize. The half double crochet lace stitch is beginner-friendly, relaxing, and rhythmic.

Perfect for crocheting while spending time with family, watching TV, or listening to an audiobook. The result is a shawl with beautiful drape and movement, without complicated shaping or counting.

Finished in warm, cozy tones, this shawl is as comforting to make as it is to give. Whether you’re crocheting for charity, gifting a loved one, or simply enjoying a peaceful project with meaningful purpose, this pattern is a wonderful way to stitch kindness and comfort into every row.
