Winter Elegance: Cozy Knit Shawl Patterns

November 14, 2014 by AllFreeKnitting 5 Comments

Although I’m not particularly fond of the winter season, I do find joy in a few cold weather happenings. Coffee always tastes a little better come December 1st, pre-Christmas snowfalls are a festive little pick-me-up, and the glow of twinkling lights always puts me in a good mood. However, my favorite part about winter is the fact that I can bundle up without overheating. As a gal who enjoys being swaddled in layers year-round, this is a huge deal. There is no better thing in the world than wrapping yourself in a cozy knit shawl and reading a good book without breaking into a full sweat.

Personally, I wear shawls year-round. They’re the perfect combination of elegance, comfort, style, and bohemian mystique. And like I said earlier, I thoroughly enjoy layers. I love shawls for their ability to dress up an outfit even when you’re not particularly jazzed about pulling yourself together. Pair a simple top and pants with a shawl and you’ve got a romantic little Jane Austen thing goin’ on. Not to mention, wearing a knit shawl is like wrapping yourself in a warm hug. And during the winter, I need a lot of hugs to keep me going.

I’ve decided to go to the trouble for you and curate a selection of cozy knitting patterns full of elegance, warmth, and divine comfort. Even though it maybe be miserable outside (and probably will be for another four months), there’s nothing like the great indoors. Grab those needles and bang out some of these warm and luscious winter shawl patterns.

    My favourite things to knit in the winter are mitts, socks and hats as I donate these to the street people of our community.

    Is this pattern available for purchase or free somewhere? I couldn’t find the instructions anywhere obvious.

    Thanks – Sioux
