I was looking for a pattern to knit a prayer shawl for a friend who is battling breast cancer. I found this one on the internet and it is so easy. It works up a lot like the dishcloths that I knit. I'm using Lion's Brand Homespun in Deco (a cream color) and it's turning out so pretty. I'm not putting the fringe on mine.

I'm almost done with the shawl and it is so pretty. I love the Homespun yarn. It's very soft. I think I'm going to have to do one for myself. I wouldn't do these to sell regularly but would do a custom order if someone wanted one. Soap is my thing so maybe there are some other gals that would sell them.

I made the same design to go with my 1830's costume - it does go quick! I used two strands of worsted weight, also a cream color (to look like wool from the 1830's). No fringe either, but so soft and warm!

I made the same disgin a few year ago for shawls,

Those who recieved the shawls really liiked them.
I didn't put fringe on them eighter.
Just as pretty without. Sheila

I do something similar: Knit 1, add a stitch, knit across.
But I use #19 straight needles and bulky yarn or 2- 3 strands of thinner yarn together and it goes really
fast ~ makes a nice thick warm shawl.

I'm halfway done with this and I love it. It does drape nicely even still on the needles. Plus it's easy so I can watch TV while I knit. When I get this one done I'm going to make one for myself.

I made one of those! 2 years ago as a Prayer Shawl for my then secret pal on another board I was/am a member of.
She loves purple, so made a purple one for her, and she loved it. Also didn't put the fringe on.

Wow that pattern is so familiar to me. I remember knitting one like that for myself about 35 years ago. It is a nice simple pattern that drapes very nicely. I'm sure your friend will love it....
