Why You’ll Adore the One Ball Shawl Crochet Pattern
Why commit to a massive project when you can achieve spectacular results with just one ball? The Late Nite Shawl is perfect for those nights when you just want to relax and crochet something quick yet beautiful. It’s your go-to project for a last-minute gift or a personal treat.
I even filmed myself doing just that! It was 10pm at night when I decided to grab my ball of Scarfie yarn, a hook, and sat down to watch The Avengers movie. I had the shawl done before the movie was over! So this really is a great Netflix and Chill project.
What You Need to Start Your One Ball Crochet Shawl
Here’s what you’ll need to kick off this fun project:
- Yarn: Grab a ball of Lion Brand Scarfie yarn (or any similar category 5 bulky yarn). The fluffier, the better!
- Hook: A 8 mm (L) crochet hook should do the trick.
- Scissors and Tapestry needle for those finishing touches, optional Tassel Maker. <– This one is my favorite and I even made a video for it. You can watch it here.
Whether it’s from your stash or a new treasure, any bulky yarn will bring this pattern to life!

LATE NITE SHAWL PATTERN
Tassels
Create 3 tassels as follows:
For each Tassel, cut 21 lengths of yarn, approximately 10” [25.5 cm] each. You can quickly do this by wrapping yarn around a flat piece of cardboard 5” [12.5 cm] long 21 times, then cutting yarn along one edge of the cardboard.
Use one of the cut strands to tie together the remaining 20 at the center.
Fold Tassel in half, and wrap it tightly with new yarn several times approximately ½“ [1 cm] below the halfway point. Cut yarn and secure the wrap by tying a square knot. Weave the ends of the wrap into the Tassel and trim if needed.
Use the centerpoint strand to attach Tassel to the finished Shawlette.
