Norra, a Beautiful Boho Shawl Crochet Pattern With Ripples

15 October 2025 by Sylwia (MyCrochetory) 4 Comments

Updated: 31 October 2026 by Sylwia (MyCrochetory)

This boho shawl crochet pattern started the way too many of my ideas do, with “just five minutes” on Pinterest. I wasn’t even looking for anything, and then a photo in cream, rust and gold popped up and I thought, oh no, I have to make that.

And here’s the crazy part. The right yarns were already in my stash, two impulse buys from Polish yarn festivals that had been waiting for their moment.

That never happens to me! Usually I fall for a color combo and own every shade except those.

So I grabbed my hook and tried one more ripple idea, and this time it just clicked. That’s how Norra happened, a top-down triangle with calm cream stripes, bright hand-dyed waves and a tiny picot edge.

Why ripples are tricky in a boho shawl crochet pattern

Can I tell you a secret? Ripples and I have a long, messy history.

I’ve started and frogged so many ripple projects that I could probably write a book about it. One wrong stitch and the whole wave goes off track, and of course you only notice it three rows later.

But hard things have always pulled me in, so every time I see a ripple, I want to try again. With Norra the waves finally lined up row after row, and the plain rows between them are a big part of why.

How the stripes of this boho shawl crochet pattern work

Every band of waves in this boho shawl crochet pattern sits between rows of back loop single crochet in cream. They’re a little breather, for your eyes and for your brain too.

The waves themselves are plain double crochet, nothing scary. You work 2 dc into some stitches and skip others, and the row starts to rise and fall like water.

The first ripple row of each band goes into the back loops, and the rest go through both loops. Don’t worry about remembering it, because the stitch names (BLdc or dc) tell you every time.

Colors for your boho shawl

Two yarns are all it takes for this boho shawl crochet pattern. A calm cream (Yarn A) does all the single crochet rows, and a warm hand-dyed yarn (Yarn B) does every ripple row, so all the color sits in the waves.

Want to play with your own colors? Go for a quiet solid for the stripes and a speckled or variegated yarn for the waves, so the ripples don’t get lost.

Each row tells you which yarn to use, so there’s no guessing. You’ll have quite a few ends, though, and my guide on how to join yarn ends might save you some weaving later.

The picot edge that finishes it all

Let’s talk about picots, because I have feelings about them. We have a real love-hate relationship.

They take forever, and I grumble every few stitches, every single time. Then I block the shawl, step back and forget all of it, because nothing else makes a piece look so finished.

On Norra, the last row is back loop single crochet with a picot in every other stitch. Never made picots? My picot stitch tutorial shows the classic way and a trick for closing the loop with no gap at the base.

Is this boho shawl crochet pattern hard?

So, is this boho shawl crochet pattern hard? It’s rated intermediate, but if you’re an adventurous beginner who knows chains, single crochet and double crochet, you can do it.

Just know that it asks for your attention. It’s not a shawl to make while half-watching a series, but every row now ends with a stitch count, and a stitch marker in the first stitch helps you find the last one after you turn.

It starts from a magic ring and grows top-down in one piece. Never made a shawl before? My guide on how to crochet a shawl walks you through the shapes and how they’re built.

Yarn and blocking for your boho shawl

I made Norra in two fingering weight merino yarns, Meme Yarns for Yarn A and Woollala hand-dyed yarn for Yarn B, and I still recommend both. You’ll need about 627 yards of Yarn A and 283 yards of Yarn B.

Can’t find them? No stress, any soft fingering weight pair works, as long as your two colors contrast well.

Since both yarns are merino, I wet block my boho shawl. I soak it, stretch it into a triangle on a mat, pin it and let it dry, and that’s the moment the ripples relax and every picot pops.

Materials & Tools

  • Yarn: fingering weight yarn in 2 contrasting colors.
  • Yarn A: Meme Yarns (100% superwash merino wool; 100 g / 365 m / 399 yd), about 573 m (627 yd).
  • Yarn B: Woollala hand-dyed yarn (75% superwash merino wool, 25% nylon; 50 g / 212 m / 232 yd), about 259 m (283 yd).
  • Hook: 3.5 mm (US E/4). Adjust the hook size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
  • Tapestry needle, scissors, stitch markers (optional).

Color changes: Yarn A for all the single crochet rows (1–4, 9–10, 15–18, 23–24, 29–32, 37–38, 43–46, 51–52, 57–60, 65 and the Last Row). Yarn B for all the ripple rows (5–8, 11–14, 19–22, 25–28, 33–36, 39–42, 47–50, 53–56 and 61–64).

Level

Intermediate or adventurous beginner.

Size after blocking

One size, adjustable: about 165 × 73 cm (65″ × 28.75″).

Gauge after blocking

After Row 10, the shawl is about 9 cm (3.5″) high and 23 cm (9″) wide. Gauge is not important for this project, but a different gauge changes the yardage and the finished size.

Stitches & Abbreviations (US terms)

  • ch – chain
  • st(s) – stitch(es)
  • sc – single crochet
  • BLsc – back loop single crochet
  • dc – double crochet
  • BLdc – back loop double crochet
  • tr – treble crochet
  • yo – yarn over
  • sk – skip
  • rep – repeat
  • sp – space
  • picot – ch3, insert your hook in the 3rd ch from the hook, yo and draw the yarn through the st and through the loop on the hook.

Notes

  • The pattern uses US terms. The shawl is worked top-down in one piece, in rows back and forth.
  • The sc rows are worked in Yarn A and the ripple dc rows in Yarn B. Each row tells you when to change color.
  • “In last st” means the 4th ch of the beginning ch4 of the previous row (for rows that start with ch4), or the first sc of the previous row (for rows that start with ch1 and 2sc in the first st).
  • “BLdc” or “BLsc” in a ch sp means you work into the back loop of the chain.
  • Place a stitch marker in the top of the 4th ch (or in the first sc) at the beginning of each row, so you can easily find the last stitch when you turn.
  • Instructions in [ ] are worked as many times as indicated. The numbers in ( ) at the end of each row are the stitch counts, not counting the center ch sp.
  • You can use yarn in a different weight, but the measurements will change with your gauge.

Boho shawl crochet pattern FAQ

Can I make this boho shawl crochet pattern bigger?

Yes. The free pattern ends after Row 65 and the picot row, and the PDF has bonus rows up to Row 108, so you can keep going as long as your yarn lasts.

Can I use another yarn for this boho shawl crochet pattern?

Yes, any weight works, but the size and yardage change with your gauge. A thicker yarn with a bigger hook gives you a bigger shawl.

Do I need the stitch charts?

No, the written rows are complete, with a stitch count after each one. The charts in the PDF show where the stitches go and how the ripples line up, which helps if you read pictures better than text.

    Hi there! What a beautiful shawl! I want to get started, and I was wondering in what rows I should switch colors to get the look in the example.
    Cheers,
    Vera
