17 Gorgeous & Free Crochet Prayer Shawl Patterns
If you’re looking for crochet prayer shawl patterns, you’ve come to the right place. Today I’m sharing 17 beautiful shawl patterns perfect for making as prayer shawls.
Prayer shawls, also known as comfort shawls, are a great gift and a beautiful way to show someone you care about them. These types of projects are typically made with intention when someone is going through a difficult time or is in need of comfort.
Traditionally you’ll pray for the recipient while you’re crocheting, pouring love into every stitch. Some will also bless the finished design after completion.
If you don’t pray, you can still make a beautiful project with intention. Instead of praying, you’ll think positive thoughts and affirmations while you’re crocheting.
While you can create any type of handmade item and consider it a prayer or comfort item, crochet (or knit) shawls are one of the most popular types of patterns to make.
I wanted to provide a variety of patterns here and I hope everyone is able to find a pattern here suitable to what you’re looking for. Scroll to find an easy pattern if you’re looking for something mindless or to find a unique design that will keep things interesting. I’ve even included a few Tunisian crochet patterns for you!
