What is a Prayer Shawl? Throughout the ages, shawls have come to symbolize shelter, peace and spiritual sustenance. Since the inception of the Prayer Shawl Ministry in 1998, the members of this ecumenical organization have lovingly donated their time and talents by creating hand-knitted and crocheted shawls for those in need. What started as a grass-roots movement has quickly grown into an international cause, with countless numbers of shawls being given to grateful recipients around the globe.

The Ministry's message of caring is simple, universal and enduring. And we have seen time and again that the creation and presentation of a prayer shawl, like all acts of generosity, enriches the giver as well as the recipient.

NOTES:

Because different Knitting Ministry groups and individuals make prayer shawls in their own ways, there is a great deal of variation. This pattern gives a sample of how to make a knit or crocheted shawl. Your individual choices in yarn and needle/hook size will affect the finished size and thickness of the shawl, but there isn’t one "right" way.

Knit Version
Cast on 63 stitches or any multiple of three, such as 54, 57, or 60.
First row Knit 3, purl 3 to the end of the row.
Repeated row Turn and knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches.

Work about 2½ skeins in this pattern. Use the rest of the yarn for fringe, which can be from 3 inches to 9 inches long. Knot the ends of the fringes to keep the yarn from frizzing.

*Homespun (Article #790) is a uniquely-textured bulky weight yarn that works up quickly and easily. 98% acrylic, 2% polyester; packaged in 6 oz/170g (185 yd/167m) pull skeins.

Prayer Shawl / Healing Shawl Reviewed by arlene banocy on 2008-03-29
Thank you for this beautiful free pattern.I made one for my girlfriend Patty who is going through stage 4 cancer. Prior to me giving her this knitted Prayer Shawl she was to sad to leave the house. Then we went to lunch this week and people were coming up to her and telling how beautiful she looked in her shawl. She told them her girlfriend made it for her as a Prayer Shawl because she has cancer. It made me feel special to see her smile every time someone came over to her to compliment her on her shawl.
