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.

Materials and Instructions (written in US terms):

sts = stitches

picot = ch 2, sl st in 2nd ch from hook

Ch 5, sl st in 1st ch to form ring
