You know those projects that pull you in before you even notice it happening? Nightfall is that kind of shawl.
So many makers say this lace shawl crochet pattern feels calm and steady from the first rows, and it still keeps things interesting as it grows. The finished triangle has a clean drape and a pretty open stitch pattern that is fun to style.
This one is worked from the bottom up, so the shape builds in a clear way and you can watch it grow row by row. The lace opens up beautifully after blocking and the fabric settles into a smooth, airy look. If you enjoy projects that let you unwind but still show off a pretty texture, this one fits right into that space.
You can follow the written pattern or use the full video tutorial if you prefer watching the repeat in action. The tutorial walks through the stitches slowly, which makes it easy to check your work and stay on track.

About the Nightfall Shawl
This shawl gets comfortable pretty fast. The repeat settles in, the lace shows up quickly and the triangle looks better with every row. After blocking, the stitches open up evenly and the fabric has a soft, polished finish that feels great to wear.
Since the shawl grows from the bottom up, the shape builds in a predictable way and stays balanced. The fabric stays light but still holds its structure when you wrap it around your shoulders. It is a piece you can style easily without thinking too hard about what it goes with.
Why Makers Love This Lace Shawl
Makers often tell me this pattern makes sense from the start. The repeat is steady, the rows flow at a nice pace and the lace looks even better once everything is blocked. It keeps your hands moving without asking you to track a hundred things at once.
The finished shawl has that elegant crochet look with a soft drape and clear stitch definition. It photographs well, feels comfortable and has just enough detail to feel special without being fussy. If you enjoy projects that balance focus and relaxation, this one fits right in.
What You Need for the Nightfall Shawl
Here is everything you need before you jump in. These materials keep the lace looking clean and help the fabric open up nicely after blocking. You only need your yarn, your hook, a tapestry needle and a few stitch markers to get started.
The sample uses Silkpaca by Malabrigo, which works beautifully with open lace. Any soft lace weight or light fingering yarn will behave well with this stitch pattern. If you want the best drape, smooth fibers are always a great choice.
Suggested Yarn Alternatives
If Silkpaca is not in your stash, no worries. This pattern works well with many yarns, especially anything soft that blocks cleanly. Lace weight and light fingering options with alpaca, silk or merino blends look great with this open stitch repeat.
Smooth fibers help the lace show clearly and look polished once the shawl is blocked. If you like a bit of sheen, silk blends give the stitches a clean, bright finish. Pick a yarn you enjoy working with and your shawl will turn out beautiful.
Notes on Construction
Before you start, here is a quick look at how the shawl is built. It grows from the bottom up, so you see the triangle forming right away as the rows widen. The stitch repeat stays consistent, which helps you settle into a comfortable rhythm.
Blocking is what gives the lace its final shape. Take your time with that step so the fabric opens evenly and the edges look balanced. Stitch markers along the sides keep the triangle neat and help the shaping feel predictable as you work.
If you plan to use the video tutorial, it shows exactly where the increases happen and how the repeats stack. Watching it for the first few rows can make the pattern feel familiar.
Stitches and Abbreviations
Here are the stitches used in this pattern so you have everything in one place. You will work chains, single crochets and double crochets along with the combinations that create the lace structure. The video tutorial shows how everything lines up, which can be helpful if you want a visual check.
Once you move through a few rows, the repeat starts to feel steady and the lace begins to show. If you ever need a refresher, you can pause the video and look closely at how the stitches land. It is a comfortable setup that lets you crochet at your own pace.
Blocking Tips for Lace Shawls
Blocking is the step that really brings this shawl to its full shape. The lace looks nice off the hook, but once you pin it out and let it dry, the stitch pattern opens up and settles evenly. It gives the shawl a clean, relaxed finish that looks great when you wear it.
You only need a flat surface, some pins and a little time. Shape the triangle gently, pin the edges and let the shawl dry completely before moving it. Once you unpin it, you will see how smooth and balanced the lace becomes.
Blocking also keeps the edges neat when you wrap the shawl. It helps the entire piece look intentional and gives the fabric a polished feel.
Helpful Tips for a Smooth Project
A few small habits make this project feel more comfortable as the rows grow. Marking both sides with stitch markers keeps the triangle even and saves you from checking the edges over and over. It is a simple step that really helps.
If you want extra support keeping the sides clean, you can take a quick look at my tips for keeping your shawl edges clean.
Checking your gauge every so often keeps the shaping predictable. Since the shawl grows in width and height at the same time, consistent stitches make the fabric fall into place naturally. It also makes blocking much easier.
If you like having a visual reference, the video tutorial is there anytime you want to check your work. Watching the first few rows on screen helps you understand the rhythm before you settle into the repeats.
If you like having your patterns saved or printed, the PDF version might be a comfortable choice. It keeps everything in one place and gives you a clean layout that feels easy to follow. It is a great option when you want a calm setup next to you while you crochet.

Fasten off yarn, weave in all ends and block your shawl.
If you have any suggestions or have detected any mistakes in this lace shawl crochet pattern, please feel free to email me at mycrochetory@gmail.com
Once your shawl is fully blocked and ready to wear, take a moment to look at how nicely the lace settled. The stitches open up in a clean and balanced way, and the triangle holds its shape without feeling stiff. It is the kind of piece you can wrap around your shoulders for everyday wear or save for something a little special.
If you used a different yarn weight or fiber, your shawl may look slightly different, and that is completely fine. Lace always takes on its own character depending on the yarn. As long as the stitch definition looks good and the fabric feels comfortable, your version is perfect.
Final Notes
If this project becomes a favorite, you are in good company. Many makers enjoy the balance of focus and flow in this pattern. It gives you something calming to work on while still leaving you with a polished shawl at the end.
If you plan to make another version, block each one the same way to keep the triangle balanced. Blocking is what helps the lace relax and show its full shape. Feel free to save this page or grab the PDF so you have everything handy the next time you make it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the finished Nightfall Shawl?
The finished size depends on your yarn and blocking, but the triangle usually settles into a comfortable size for wrapping. Lace tends to open up when pinned out, so your shawl may end up slightly larger than it looks right off the hook.
What yarn works well for this lace shawl pattern?
Soft lace weight and light fingering yarns work beautifully here. Fibers like silk, alpaca or merino help the lace open up during blocking and give the fabric a relaxed drape. Smooth yarns also show the stitch definition clearly.
Is this a good project if I want to learn lace crochet?
This pattern is a nice option for learning lace because the repeat is steady and predictable. The stitch combinations stay consistent and you can see the structure build row by row. The video tutorial is helpful if you want a visual guide.
How do I block a lace shawl to get the best shape?
Lay the shawl flat, pin the sides gently and give it space to open up. Blocking helps the lace settle and smooths the edges. Once the fabric is dry, the stitches look balanced, clean and ready to wear.
If this shawl becomes a project you want to make again, the PDF can be a helpful backup. It gives you the full pattern, the stitch chart and a tidy layout that works well on paper or on a tablet. It is a nice option when you want a quiet, distraction free setup.

This shawl is beautiful. I can’t wait to start this project. Serdecznie dziekuje.
Thank you so much for this gorgeous shawl pattern! I’ve been looking for a pattern to use with luxury yarns and this one is perfect!
Bonjour, comment faire pour avoir le patron en francais . Je ne parle pas d’autre langue. Votre chale est vraiment très beau. Félicitations!
I’m stuck on the first bit.
It says tr in first beg ch. Turn, but I have absolutely no idea which loop counts asthe first beginning chain. Do you mean the very first loop when you began your 8 chain? But you’ve just DCed into that, making a loop, so it can’t be that one. So which one do you mean? It’s not even slightly clear.
Say otherwise…
Row 1: ch8 (counts as a tr and ch-3 sp), (dc, ch3, tr) in 8th ch from hook, Turn. (2tr, 1dc, 2 ch-3 sp)
Is it more helpful?
I’m afraid not. I really can’t see how an 8 chain counts as a tr and a 3 chain. A chain is not a treble crochet so how can it count as one? I also can’t see any connection between the things in brackets and the things outside of the brackets.
You now seem to have dc, ch3 and a tr n the 8th instead of one dc so how can that be the same?
The end of row 1 has some stuff in brackets (2tr, 7dc, 2 ch 3 sp) that is nothing like the start of row 2. which begins with a chain 7. So where does the stuff in brackets come in? A chain of 7 isn’t 2 tr etc etc. There’s no match between the bit in brackets and anything else.
Ok. First: in the brackets at the end of row (2tr, 7dc, 2 ch 3 sp) is a stitch counting for that particular row, DO NOT WORK THAT. After each row, I put in (…) stitch counting so you can check if your’re doing correctly.
Ok, treble crochet and ch4 makes 7 chain, the 8th chain from hook is the chain where you should crochet dc, make ch3 and the last tr you also work in THAT chain where dc was. That 8th chain from hook is kind a starting point.
She’s too nice, obviously this pattern is too complicated for you.
It makes perfect sense.
I’m sorry, but that just doesn’t make sense. A treble crochet isn’t a chain, how can a tr plus a 3 chain make an 8 chain?
I’ve gone back to the start – Chain 8. Then dc into the 8th stitch which makes a circle, yes? Then chain 3 and tr into that same 8th stitch. Is that right?
Then turn and chain 7. Then 3 DCs go in somewhere but is that in a stitch on the 7 you just did or are you working back along the original 8?
Of course, treble crochet isn’t a chain, but 4 chains counts as a treble crochet in my pattern. Those 4 chains plus 3 chains make 7 chains, and only in the row 1, plus the one chain (that 8th from hook)
“Then dc into the 8th stitch which makes a circle, yes? Then chain 3 and tr into that same 8th stitch” – YES and YES, that’s right. Those first 3dcs you crochet around the chain space in the previous row, then one dc in the dc, then next 3dcs around the next chain space in the previous row, then 3chain and tr in 4th ch of 7th at beg of prev row.
Don’t get me wrong, I really want to be helpful, but I see some troubles and I’ve mentioned in the post, this is a pattern for experienced crocheters since level is Intermediate.
I’m possibly starting to make some headway on this. Thanks for being patient.
This is why I usually just make things up – all the abbreviations make patterns very hard to follow. Now attempting row 4.
Of course, it doesn’t help that I can lose count between 1 and 2.
Intermediate doesn’t imply ‘experienced’.
If you’d said ‘expert’ at reading patterns, I’d have looked elsewhere without wasting time. I can naalbind, crochet, tunisian crochet, knit, weave, and spin, thanks. I innovate constantly by combining different techniques.
Intermediate should be fairly easy if you know the stitches, which I do. I just can’t read the abbreviations.
I guess I’ll just have to buy something for the funeral. Maybe Judit can decipher these American-style instructions next week.
Ok, I don’t want to leave you just like that. Please tell me if you can crochet from stitch charts?
Thanks, but no. I’ve only used written patterns before or just made it up as I went along.
It’s ok. I’ll be going to a knitting group on Tuesday. There are a few ladies there who are expert with crochet, including someone who teaches it. If I haven’t figured it out by then, I’ll ask them.
I think I’m starting to get the hang of it now, though. I restarted a few times, and, at last, the stitches seem to be lining up correctly with each previous row and a pattern is forming.
I’m about to start row 6 again, If my cat will let me, anyway. She keeps climbing on my arm, which does not help one bit.
I’m determined to get on with it. It’s such a lovely pattern.
Sorry to have been a pest. You have been very patient and helpful.
ps. You’ve been so helpful that I am now buying the pattern from Etsy. It’s the least I can do to say thanks.
pps Now that I’ve downloaded the pdf, although I can’t read the stitch chart to crochet, I can see that the pattern forming in my latest attempt is correct. I must be doing it right now. Thank you for all your help. I’ve left a review.
Is it possible that the picture is for a different shawl that the instructions?
No, it’s not possible. Why you ask?
;; I had the same thought honestly. But that was my mistake. I stopped reading after like row 7 because me being stupid I just figured the rest of the shawl was a repeat and the picture was wrong and just kept going lol. But even without following directions it came out boss. Lol
Please review row 9, is it supposed to say skip 5 DC, instead of skip 3? My row isn’t even when I skip 3.
I’m struggling starting row 9 when it says chain 5 and then skip 3, when I only skip 3, things aren’t lining up.
Row 8 doesn’t work after row 7🤔
What does it mean? Where’s the problem?
I absolutely loved making this shawl. And I must disagree with previous comments, this is definitely an intermediate pattern, not expert. That being said, I feel it looks very intricate and detailed without being overly difficult. Starting off lace shawls in general requires you to read, count, and pay attention more so than when you get further along. I’d also note that this pattern absolutely MUST be blocked. I know some people don’t like to bother with blocking; if that’s the case then this pattern is not for you. The only bit of the pattern I disagree with is that it states to weave in your ends and then block. I just happen to be a firm believer in weaving after you block because it can mess up your blocking. Otherwise this is a great pattern! Thank you!
Have almost completed the shawl. Had no problems with the instructions. It looks fantastic. Thank you for a beautiful pattern.
Thank you for the gorgeous pattern I did mess up calculations so ended up with a 40 row shawl. Tried it on my 9 year old and it’s a nice size for a child. The rows all worked out for me…. at the start I did have to redo a couple rows but once I got the hang of it I flew through the pattern. I self taught crochet using YouTube a year ago so wouldn’t class myself as being overly good at it. Just found I had to re read a couple times to get some rows but they all did match up 🙂
Thank you so muh for such a good review 🙂
Thanks for the pattern, I got the hang of the treble ending after a few tries, before making the 3 dc in last space I placed a marker in 4th ch stitch for inserting the tr; however, I did have some confusion with row 9 because after chaining 5 it says to skip 3 dc And 2 dc then to chain 5 again. I decided to place 2 dc into the previous ch 5 space in hopes this will be what you meant. So far my count is matching and I’m enjoying this project.
I keep getting stumped on the chain 5 row 9 cause it says skip stuff and chain 5 again w/o doing anything in between
In row 9, when you make chain 5 then skip 3 dc from previous row and make 2dc in chain5 space from previous row. After those 2dc make the second chain 5.
Me again, this is a wonderful pattern, thank you. I do have another question though regarding row 25. Towards the end it says to put a sc into the dc but when continuing onto row 26 by repeating row 24 there is that sc. if I skip it I won’t have the right count and if I use it as a dc it seems the pattern would vary on only 1 side. I guess I could just change it to a double, this is fun, but I’d like to see what I may be doing wrong. Usually if I reread/redo, I see I have read it wrong but in this case could it be incorrect on the pattern? Thanks again, this pattern is the 1st x for me corresponding with its author 😊
Is there a graph for this amazing pattern as opposed to a written? I find it easier to follow a graph when the rows get longer 😀
Stitch chart is available in PDF version.
A video tutorial would help me in getting started. I’ve crocheted a lot and usually do just fine reading a pattern but I am having difficulty with this one. I may have to find someone to sit down with me to get this going. Once I’m started I think it will go fine.
Hi Sylwia, Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing this beautiful pattern for free. I can’t wait to get started!
Is it normal for the shawl to be slightly bubbly when beginning, or does this mean I have the wrong gage?
The lace pattern will be beautifully open after blocking.
Thanks for this lovely pattern. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. I do have a question re. Row 25. Near the end after the next to the last chain 2 it says to sc in next dc. Should this be dc in next dc? Seems a dc crochet here would not be consistent with pattern. Thanks for your help!
Yes, you are right. I have revised the row 25. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this gorgeous pattern – and for your generosity in making it FREE!!! I’m going to make it in white for a wedding shawl, and maybe incorporate some (fake!) pearls into the border!
Hello Sylwia. Thank you for sharing your pattern.
I have a question about the 2nd edging row : when you say “sc across the row in every sc and chain spaces”, how many stitches am I suppose to crochet in a chain space ? Only 1 or as much as they are chain stitches in the chain ?
2scs in every ch-2 sp and 3scs in every ch-3 sp
I love this pattern! Can you please give me some tips on how to open up the stitches and block the finished project? Thanks!
After a wet blocking the stitches will open beautifully.
Being new to crocheting I wasn’t sure I would be able to do this. But I loved the pic of your so much I decided to give it a try. I did buy the pattern and the chart helped tremendously. I finished the shawl yesterday and was very pleased with how it turned out. Thanks!
I have made two shawls following your excellent and beautiful pattern. Thank you so much! I used a silk and alpaca blend as you suggested and am so pleased with the results.
“Down break your yarn…”
i’m an expert crocheter, but have never heard this term. please explain what this means. thanks!
It should be “don’t break your yarn”.
Hi Sylwia, thank you for such a easy and gorgeous pattern.
I am stuck with row 14 (3dc in next ch-5 sp, dc in next 7dc, 3dc in next ch-5 sp,)..
need your help in this , didnt understand this particular line.
Hi,
It means you have to work 3 doubl crochet around ch-5 space from the previous row, next 7 double crochet (one double crochet per one stitch), and then again 3 double crochet around ch-5space.
Hi, I’ve been getting familiar with the instructions and would just like to clarify something.
At the start the part of the pattern that reads:
(2tr, 1dc, 2 ch-3 sp)
I get that ch-3sp is a chainn3 space but I’m confused by the “2” before it. What do I do? Do I chain 6?
(2tr, 1dc, 2 ch-3 sp) is a stitch count for the row. It means you have in that row two treble crochet, one double crochet and two chain3 spaces.
Ahh my apologies! I was reading it as part of the pattern. Silly me!
This has been quite the project, but I’m almost done and i couldn’t be happier! Thank you for this lovely pattern! Next I’m gonna make one for my girlfriend :D.
Thank you so much for this pattern! I made it for my mom for mother’s day and she loves it! I ended up adding some black drop beads into every picot. It added a nice weight allowing the shawl to stay on the shoulders without any effort, plus added a little bling. It’s so comfortable and beautiful, I might just make one for myself now!
;; hi. I have a question. Are you sure that the picture for this shawl is correct? Because I’m following the pattern right now. And I’m only on row 7 but I can already see that it looks nothing like the picture. Like that picture is a totally different pattern.
I’m almost finished with mine and it looks like the photo. Maybe blocking will help.
Hi Sylwia,
Thanks for a lovely and easy-to-follow pattern. I hope you don’t feel upset by some who struggle to read patterns and charts. When I was a beginner, I relied on wonderful people like you to explain, patiently and repeatedly, how to complete a piece. Thank you for all your effort! And good luck to everyone making this shawl – stick with it calmly, and trust the process; it is well worth it. (Also, for those wondering why the project does not precisely resemble the photos: do remember that (1) the border is added after the main body of the shawl is completed, (2) the pattern has a fair amount of variation until row 26, at which point it switches to a 2-row rep pattern, (3) the finished piece in the photos is ***blocked*** which takes a finished piece from simply impressive to absolutely perfect. A pattern this size needs time for the rhythm to become apparent. Be patient and hang in there!)
Thanks again, Sylwia!
Thank you for this lovely pattern. I hope the friend I gift it to will like it as much as I do.
Thank you for this absolutely stunning pattern! I finished mine yesterday and I am honestly so pleased with thr result it is just lovely. I used fibrespates gleem lace which is 55% wool, 45% silk in peacock colourway and I can’t believe how lovely the end result is. Pattern was very easy to follow and results are definitely worth it.
I am halfway through this beautiful pattern and have just read some of the comments. I have to say I am astounded at the rudeness and entitlement of some of the commentors. I am by no means an expert crocheter, being self taught from youtube videos and trial and error over the last couple of years, but I found this pattern very easy to understand and follow. I have come across no errors and the bits that didn’t make sense I found were down to me not reading properly and once re-read it made perfect sense.
Thank you for sharing your talent for free, I for one am most grateful
I’m with you. In general I’m horrified by the entitlement of people but the comments here on a FREE pattern are just crazy. I replied to a comment back in August when I completed the shawl because I felt it necessary to add that it was easy to follow and I didn’t even think it could be considered “expert” level but rather intermediate (which of course is not a dig at the pattern or artist but rather a comment on how this is not overly intricate yet works up to a beautiful intricate-looking lace. So happy to read another positive comment!
Thank you for a beautiful design and great instructions! The shawl came out better than I had expected and looks absolutely lovely. You are a gifted designer and I look forward to seeing where you will go with your work!
I printed this pattern and ordered the yarn. When the yarn got here, I couldn’t find the pattern. I’ve hunted until I found it again and am anxious to get started. I’ve been crocheting for over 50 years but reading some of the comments has me nervous. I’m hoping for the best and plan to get started on this beautiful shawl this weekend. Wish me good crocheting.
