What is a Prayer Shawl?
August 11th, 2010 | 
Author: 
Traditionally, prayer shawls were worn by men and women to church or places of worship as part of their prayerful rituals. In recent years, prayer shawls or healing shawls have taken on a new meaning.
The concept was started by two women, Janet Bristow and Victoria Galo from the Hartford Seminary. They began making shawls for women in need of healing. Whether the healing is medical or spiritual it does not matter. The shawls are intended to bring comfort.
The pattern you use does not matter. Any shawl or scarf pattern is suitable, it is the prayers you say before, during and after creating the shawl that turns it into a prayer shawl and a source of comfort to the person using it.
You begin by saying a healing prayer for the recipient. As you work on the shawl, you continue to bless the shawl with your prayers of good intent as you weave/knit/crochet the yarn. When you complete the work, you say another prayer for the person who is to receive it.
The shawl is given to a person in need and is intended to bring them comfort and solace in their time of need. Often these are given to people who are going through medical procedures, struggling with illness, the loss of a loved one, emotional turmoil or suffering. They are also given at milestones such as marriages, birth of a child, graduation, etc.
The idea is that the shawl is blessed with the love of God and will see the recipient through times of sorrow, to help someone stay committed to a new beginning in life or to celebrate a joyous occasion.

Sagittaria Triangular Lace Shawl Pattern
This is a beautiful lace shawl pattern suitable for an intermediate or advanced knitter. I love this one and am planning on knitting it as soon as I finish the lace scarf that is on my needles now.
I really like how open and dainty this shawl looks and the intricate arrow shaped edging. I have to find just the right yarn for this beauty. I am thinking another silk or maybe even cotton this time.
Materials
Yarn: the brown shawl is made of Novita Wool (100 % merino wool, 50 g = 135 m), approx. 160 g. The green shawl is made of approx. 150 grams of Drops Alpaca ( 100 % alpaca wool, 50 g = 180 m). You can knit the shawl from virtually any yarn: the thinner the yarn the lighter the shawl and the smaller the pattern.
Needles: Pick about two sizes (2 mm) bigger needles than recommended to the yarn. The size of the needles depends on how tight or loose you knit: my knitting style is quite average, and with the brown shawl I chose 5,5 mm needles when the recommendation is 3,5 mm.
Other equipment: 4 stitch markers, and a tapestry needle to weave in the yarn ends.
Finished Measurements
The size of the brown shawl is 200 cm x 90 cm, the green shawl is 200 cm x 100 cm. The size can be easily adjusted by knitting less or more of rows 1-12 of chart 2.
Here is the free pattern for the lace shawl. http://vilman.blogspot.com/2007/03/sagittaria-shawl.html

Beginners Leaf Lace Scarf Pattern
Beginner knitters are always terrified at the thought of tackling a lace project. Really, if you have mastered the basics of knit, purl, yarn over and knitting 2 stitches together you are ready for a nice easy lace scarf.
I must warn you though, knitting lace can get addictive! Once you have completed your first piece, you will want to try more and more.
You will want to experiment with all different types of lace weight yarn as well as knitting lace with heavier weight yarn. I have just ordered some lovely silk/cashmere yarn in a creamy off white color on eBay and my fingers are just twitching waiting to get started as soon as it arrives. I plan on knitting this very pattern for my daughter for Christmas.
