Crochet Romantic Prayer Shawl Free Pattern

Hi everyone, today I am bringing to you a crochet Romantic Prayer Shawl (free pattern). This pattern is easy for beginners, and looks beautiful in all seasons. Featuring a simple one row repeat pattern, the shell stitch edging gives this project a very feminine vibe.

The video tutorial for this project can be found here:

Crochet Romantic Prayer Shawl Free Pattern: The Inspiration

I love crocheting romantic and feminine shawls. Over the past Summer I released quite a few Vintage Crochet tutorials. I love these vintage crochet projects so much! This Edwardian Era Wrap I released last week features a lovely rectangle shape and a very lacy stitch you may enjoy. The Edwardian Rose Shawl from a few weeks ago is also a lovely shawl that could be made as a prayer shawl too.

This prayer shawl is so easy

Prayer shawls are perfect gifts to give to someone who you think needs to feel the arms and love of God. Crocheting a prayer shawl is not only therapeutic for you to make, it’s also a blessing for the person receiving it.

A little while ago I also added this vintage lavender wrap to the Vintage Crochet Series. This wrap features a lovely shell stitch and a frilly edging too. It was made with very soft yarn too ( Feels Like Butta by Lion Brand yarns).

Crochet Romantic Prayer Shawl Free Pattern: The Yarn

For this project I used Ice Cream yarn by Lion Brand. This yarn is very soft and comes in 100 gram balls, as well as much bigger skeins. For this project I used two of the 100 gram balls. I used shade Strawberry. It’s a very beautiful shade of pink and white. The yarn itself is considered a light 3/DK yarn, and is very soft too.

I don’t think I have ever used this yarn for a tutorial before. Indeed, I do love Lion Brand yarns as a rule. Polina Half Circle Shawl from a few years ago is also made using Lion Brand Mandala Baby yarn in shade Narnia. I do love Mandala Baby yarn so much! This yarn is perfect for shawls.

Let me know if you enjoy working with Lion Brand yarns as much as I do.

    I love this pattern. I’m not a beginner by far, but it is a very easy pattern for beginners. I made nine Prayer Shawls to date with this pattern. (6/25/24). I changed two things. Instead of half double crochet through the entire stitch, I did a half double crochet in the back of the stitch, which left a pretty ridge pattern. I did this through the entire shawl. I wish I could have left a picture. I also did the shell pattern around the ENTIRE shawl.
