Triangular Prayer Shawl

When I picked up a copy of The Prayer Shawl Ministry: Reaching Those in Need (Leisure Arts #4225) I knew this would be one of the first items I made. I am experimenting with different types of shawls, but something about the triangle shaped shawls keeps drawing me back.

I really liked the finished edging on this shawl. It gave the shawl a nice look when it was done.

Still am working on improving my pictures. When you click on the picture it gives you a better look at the structure of the shawl, but still limits the color. I'm having a hard time finding a place I can hang the shawl and still get good light. I love the look of the Homespun yarn though and I wanted to demonstrate how pretty it looks close up so I took some quick shots to show the pattern.

I started on the shawl shown on the cover of this book. I have a crochet/knitting group meeting this week so I may have another prayer shawl finished before next week's prayer shawl meeting. These work up much faster than I would have anticipated.

I am going to have to keep my eyes out for Homespun yarn sales. While I can keep working through my supply of worsted, many of these call for bulkier weight yarns.

Textured Prayer Shawl

This prayer shawl was made using the Textured Bead pattern found in Crocheted Prayer Shawl Companion, The: 37 Patterns to Embrace, Inspire, and Celebrate Life that I'm finding to be a great resource. It worked up quickly and I found it was clear when a row was off. I like when I can catch a mistake quickly and resolve it so I don't have multiple rows to fix.

I have my second prayer shawl meeting coming up in a few weeks and I am pleased to say this is the third shawl I finished. It does have an option to add beads, but since I'm new to prayer shawls and I've never worked with beads I decided not to use that option for this shawl.

Up until now I've been using up yarn for my stash, or in the case of the first shawl I made, donated yarn from the Prayer Shawl Group. However, I started working on a shawl from The Prayer Shawl Ministry: Reaching Those in Need (Leisure Arts #4225) and I picked up some Lionbrand Homespun yarn to complete the project.

Prayer Shawl Patterns

I recently joined a Prayer Shawl Ministry group at my Church and know I need variety when I work on projects. I might come back to a pattern, but I rarely repeat a pattern without looking for a new version. I need to try some new options to keep from burning out. As I was searching for free patterns, I realized I might not be the only one looking and decided to add another page for others who were interested. I discovered there are some with pictures and detailed patterns and many very simply written with minimal instructions. I will list what I can find and leave you to choose what works for you.
