Crochet a men’s prayer shawl for charity! This one-row repeat shawl pattern is perfect for working up with your prayer shawl group. Featuring half double crochet stitches in the back loop, this pattern produces a lovely fabric with cozy ribbing.

The yarn used in this pattern is a dense acrylic, Furls Wander, so the shawl feels weighted and extra cozy. The stitch is super drapey; the stitches seem to expand when the shawl is worn.

This shawl comes in two sizes, and each size requires about the same amount of yarn, so you can decide if you want a longer, thinner rectangle, or vice versa.

I hope you enjoy this pattern!

Thank you very much to Furls Crochet for providing the Wander Yarn and Streamline Metal Hook featured in this pattern.
