Zirka Shawl Crochet Pattern

Zirka is a modern triangular shawl worked from the bottom up in an airy, geometric filet crochet pattern. The name Zirka means star in Ukrainian — a fitting match for its timeless, radiating motif that echoes the shape of a star or snowflake.

The shawl has no clear right or wrong side and can be easily resized to suit your yarn or style. The open stitchwork gives the fabric a light drape and elegant structure. Whether you prefer a small kerchief or a larger wrap, Zirka adapts beautifully and is a peaceful project to work on.

✨ Geometric openness
Simple filet crochet stitches create a clean and rhythmic pattern
