Cross Pocket Prayer Shawl

In October 2015 I created my Granny Pocket Prayer Shawl.  I am humbled by how many views it has had these last two years.

A few weeks ago, I created another Cross Pocket Prayer Shawl.  I hope you like it just as well.


This is great for using up small scraps of yarn from other projects.
