Spread Your Wings Shawl in Caron x Pantone – Free Crochet PDF Pattern

The Spread Your Wings Shawl is a beautifully designed crochet shawl pattern available as a free downloadable PDF. Created using Caron x Pantone yarn, this project produces a large, elegant wrap measuring approximately 18 x 60 inches (45.5 x 152.5 cm) — generous enough to drape comfortably over the shoulders as a statement accessory or cozy layering piece. The pattern is rated Easy/Beginner, making it an ideal project for those who are new to crochet or looking for a relaxing, confidence-building make.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a long rectangular shawl with shaped corners that give it a graceful, wing-like silhouette — perfectly suited to its name. The finished shawl is worked from one end to the other, building width and length simultaneously through a clever corner construction. Two distinct colorway versions are included in the pattern, allowing crafters to personalize the look of their finished piece.

Two Colorway Versions

The pattern offers Version 1 and Version 2, each using a different arrangement of Caron x Pantone shade codes to achieve a unique color story across the right and left sides of the shawl.

• Version 1 uses shades 12-5209, 14-4812, 14-1219, 16-1546, and 18-3712 across the right side, with a coordinating left-side arrangement.
• Version 2 rearranges the same and overlapping shade codes — including 18-3712, 14-4812, 12-5209, 16-1546, and 14-1219 — across both sides for a different tonal effect.
• Both versions are worked using the same stitch pattern and construction method, so the technique remains consistent regardless of which colorway you choose.

An additional single-color option is shown using Blushing Coral (01033), which requires 5 balls of Caron x Pantone yarn and creates a clean, monochromatic version of the shawl.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Caron x Pantone (3.5 oz / 100 g; 127 yds / 116 m per ball) — an Aran weight yarn. For the solid colorway, 5 balls of Blushing Coral (01033) are needed. For the multi-shade versions, individual balls of each color are required, as the pattern instructs crafters to separate the color links of the multi-shade yarn braid and wind each color into its own separate ball before beginning.
• Hook: A US size K/10½ (6.5 mm) crochet hook, or the size needed to achieve the correct gauge.

Gauge

Matching gauge is essential for this pattern, particularly because each shade of Caron x Pantone contains a finite amount of yarn. The required gauge is 12 double crochet stitches and 6½ rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in pattern. Crafters are strongly encouraged to work a gauge swatch before beginning to ensure their finished shawl reaches the correct dimensions and that the yarn quantities work out as intended.

Techniques Used

• Corner construction: The shawl's distinctive wing shape is achieved through a repeating corner technique worked at specific points in each row. A corner is made by working (1 dc, ch 1) twice, then 1 dc all into the same stitch, creating a neat, angled turn that gradually builds the shawl's spread.
• Foundation chain setup: The shawl begins with a chain of 42, and the first row establishes both the body of the shawl and the initial corner at the end of the foundation chain, with stitches worked across both sides of the foundation.
• Color changes: Multiple colors are introduced by joining new yarn at the right side with right
