The Crochet Virus Shawl by Julia Marquardt is one of the most famous shawls of today's era. Luckily for you, she offers a free pattern. This pattern is the most requested pattern from our team to locate, and out of courtesy of our time to continually answer this question. To this designer, we provide a direct link to her Ravelry Page, where you can find the pattern.
On Julia's Ravelry, it will give you instructions to find this free pattern in German or English. Please note the English Version is not provided in written format, it's only a crochet diagram to follow. Luckily, the diagram is easy to follow.

Understanding the German Website
Start here on Julia's Ravelry to begin. The free link is on the Ravelry Main Page for this project. Click that and go to Woolpedia where the pattern is.
The website's first language is in German. A pop-up window will appear. Don't let that frighten you, I've run it through the translator program to see what it's saying. It's safe.
The pop up saying the following to you:
- We use cookies to personalize ads. We also provide information about your use of our website to our partners for Werbung.Mehr
To continue you have to click Zustimmen which means, "Agree". This will get rid of the pop-up and you can continue. If you wish not to agree, you cannot continue with this website and this pattern is not available to you to use.
Getting the Pattern
Scroll down and see the link for the picture of the used crochet diagram. Click it and it will download to your computer/device. From there, you can use it or print it.

Please do not stop making written patterns. I'm sure I'm not the only one who despises those chart things.

The Virus Shawl was not designed by us.
Bonnie says
Is there a place other than Ravelry for getting the shawl pattern? I no longer use Ravelry. Thanks.
Mikey says
Check to see who the designer is and then google it. She may have created a website where this pattern is. I'm unsure if she is hosting a separate website as websites cost her additional money to run for this free pattern to give out. I do understand why you don't want to use Ravelry. Best wishes.
