This pattern for a simple, lacy shawl uses an obtuse isosceles triangle shape, which, in my opinion, gives you more styling options. You can wear this shawl as a scarf, loop it around your neck (with the ends tucked) as an infinity scarf, tie it as a shawl, or wrap it gracefully across your shoulders with a shawl pin.

It uses very basic stitches so it’s also a great lace pattern for a beginning crocheter (or, a great “binge watching” pattern for a more advanced crocheter).
