Work up an easy unisex crochet shawl for charity with great drape! This half double crochet lace stitch is a neutral yet flowy stitch, simple to crochet.

AllFreeCrochet and AllFreeKnitting have partnered with JourneyCare Home Health and Hospice to collect crocheted or knit shawls for hospice patients. Since half of their patients are males, they are always interested in unisex donations.

I am obsessed with this colorway and have been eager to find an opportunity to use this yarn! These warm tones are so cozy, and I hope the man who received this shawl loved it.

This project is worked in simple rows start to finish, and the pattern is a one row repeat. It’s a great project to crochet while hanging out with family or listening to an audiobook.

I hope you enjoy this pattern!
