Infinity Prayer Shawl

Infinity Prayer Shawl



This is my most recent shawl. The crochet design is based on the previous one but with a larger hook. The ends are joined in the back and the front drape has a twist in it. I like it because it will stay on your shoulders to allow your hands to be free. It is also large enough to be worn as a cowl on your head or double-wrapped around your neck for warmth.

Infinity Shawl Pattern

I like this pattern because it uses 1 5 oz. skein of yarn and it’s fast and simple to make. Because it sits on your shoulders, it allows your hands to be free for multi-tasking!

1 5 oz. skein of med. weight yarn
Size N crochet hook
Gauge is not important. The dimensions before closing is 60” x 12”

Chain stitch 34.
Turn and chain stitch 4. This becomes your 1st double crochet at each end.
Double crochet and chain stitch into alternating spaces for a total of 18 double crochet and 17 spaces.
Continue this lattice pattern for the length of 60”.

When you have completed the length of 60”, fold ends together, twist the shawl once at one end, and then slip stich ends together. This may be done with a crochet hook or with an embroidery needle. The shawl will have a beautiful drape at the center. It may also be doubled up for a neck scarf.
