Shawls and wraps are such popular accessories in the knit and crochet world. But to keep your gorgeous new accessory secure around your shoulders as you work and move a shawl pin is a necessity.
Today, shawl pin is a loose term. They're also known as scarf pins and brooches, though brooches tend to have a semi-precious stone in front and a safety pin-type fastener on the back. You're much more likely to see brooches worn on a sweater or cardigan, though they're much less popular these days.
Searching online, I found shawl pins described as sticks, coils, and buttons. So this humble decorative fastener has many names and faces.
So, let's unravel this mystery and help you determine which type you might need for your project!
⚡ Quick Answer:
Choose your shawl pin based on yarn weight (smaller for lace-weight, larger for bulky), the color and texture of your finished piece, and your preferred fastening style. Shawl pins are designed to slide between stitches rather than pierce them, so your knit or crochet fabric stays safe and snag-free.
