Lacy Prayer Shawl

by Renee Rico

There are wonderful friends that I want to knit for when they need comfort. I wanted a fairly solid lace pattern that would be handsome in the squishy Malabrigo yarn. This shawl features a simple 6-row lace pattern, with an optional crochet edging, which is a very simple single crochet stitch. The size of the shawl is easy adjustable by adding or subtracting a lace repeat, each of which are slightly less than 2 inches wide.
