6 Quick, Beautiful, Free Shawl Knitting Patterns to Comfort & Warm

Knit these beautiful, free shawl knitting patterns fast with bulky yarn for a warm and comforting shawl that makes a great gift and/or charity project

When words fail, sometimes there’s nothing like a warm knitted hug to offer the ultimate in comfort. That’s why comfort shawls have been such popular charity knitting projects for so many years.

In my experience, there’s just one problem with many shawl knitting projects: they take a long time to knit. When you want to knit comfort for someone,  you may feel frustrated when you have to wait weeks and weeks to present someone with your knitted hug.

So when I considered creating this collection of free shawl knitting patterns, I had two primary criteria.

One: they had to be relatively quick to knit.

Two: bulky or super-bulky yarn had to be their base. Not only would this ensure quickness, but it would also add to that warm, comforting feeling.
