If you are looking for a quick and easy project to knit, how about this red knit shawl and fans. What if I told you that with just a 150g skein of yarn, you’ll have more than enough to complete this project? Even better, if you prefer skipping the edging, 100g of yarn will be just right! This scarf is so lightweight, you’ll never want to take it off.
Autumn and Crochet mesh & fan shawl
As we transition into autumn, cooler days are starting to settle in, making it the perfect time to sit back, crochet, and enjoy a warm cup of coffee or tea. Take some time for yourself and dive into creating this “Relax Shawl.”
Choose your favorite yarn, and get ready to use this shawl year-round. It’ll be the ideal companion for a crisp autumn afternoon or a cool summer evening.
Important Notes
- 3 chains at the beginning of each row equal 1 double crochet
- 5 chains make an “arc”
- 5 double crochets worked into the same base stitch form a “fan stitch”
- The shawl is built from a repeated sequence of 7 rows, creating a pattern of arcs and fan stitches
- Using different yarns or hooks than those suggested can alter the final size of the shawl
- Each row specifies the number of arcs and fans you should have

You can expand your shawl to any desired size or reduce rows if you’re using a thicker yarn. Be sure to finish the shawl with a row of arcs and fans.
Edging (Optional Border)
Without cutting the yarn, continue crocheting the edging as follows:
Chain 5, sc in the first arc along the edge, [chain 18, 4 dc in the 4th chain from the hook, <4 dc>, repeat 4 more times, chain 3, slip stitch in the same chain where you placed the last set of double crochets, chain 10, sc skipping one arc, chain 5, sc in the next arc] repeat from “[ to ]” along the entire edge. At the bottom, chain 5 and sc again at the end of the shawl. Continue with the other side of the shawl following the same “[ to ]” pattern up to the top edge.
Cut the yarn, hide, and secure the loose ends.
