In this Vlogmas 2025 chat, I’m showing y’all the shawls I crocheted with donating in mind—the ones I’m not keeping, even though they are genuinely so pretty. I talk through what I made, why these particular shawls are headed out to bless somebody else, and I make sure to link the free patterns so you can stitch right along with me. If you love cozy crochet podcasts where we just hang out and talk WIPs/FOs, this one is very much that vibe. I also point you to a few of my favorite shawl patterns (and designers) that are great when you want something wearable, giftable, and not a million years of commitment. I mention my earlier Christmas shawl video and my current favorite shawls video if you want even more inspo, and I link the sweater I’m wearing too (because I know somebody’s gonna ask). The big takeaway: donating crochet can be simple—pick a solid one-skein shawl pattern, enjoy the process, and let the finished piece go do some good in the world.
