Crochet Regency Angel Shawl Free Pattern: Delicate And Feminine

This crochet shawl is both delicate and feminine. The name Angel was very popular in the early 1800s, and I thought this would be a perfect name for this project. I love this new crochet shawl; it is part of my Vintage Crochet Series.

The Regency Era is a historical period spanning only nine years, from 1811 to 1820. This seems to be such a short time, yet so many amazing people and works of art were produced during these short years. One of my favorite authors is of course Jane Austen, and of course she is the queen of the Regency Era! Many of my shawls and crochet projects are inspired by Jane Austen and her wonderful books.

The Regency Era is characterized by long slim lines and an elegant design. Pastel tones were all the rage, as these had an ethereal and delicate sentiment. Innocence and candor were represented through fashion and art. Shawls were long and often rectangular, and they were an accessory that accentuated simple yet stunning dresses. These dresses were inspired by the Greece-roman era, featuring dresses inspired by  long togas and flowing fabrics.

Crochet Regency Angel Shawl Free Pattern: A Simple Elegant Design

I wanted this new shawl to really look like it could have been crocheted during the Regency Era. Indeed, it features a long rectangular shape, as well as a filet crochet pattern. The filet crochet design is perfect for such a project. Indeed, this gives a more flowy and ethereal look to the project. It is also a soothing and fun shawl to crochet.

Once the main part of the shawl was crocheted, I made the elegant and delicate edging. I crocheted this border in a different color, using a dark plum shade which contrasts with the pale pink color of the shawl. This crocheted edging is simple and easy to make. I chose to crochet a double loop edging, which gives this shawl a very authentic vintage vibe. It is elegant and dainty, and also perfect for this Regency Era shawl.

I love historically inspired crochet projects, and this is the whole reason why I created the Vintage Crochet Series. Indeed, many historical periods have been featured on this website, including the Regency, Edwardian and Victorian eras. You can find all of these shawls in the “Vintage Crochet Series” tab.
