Sacred Space is a crescent shaped shawl knit with a 100g skein of fingering weight yarn and a 50g skein of mohair. It is knit from the top down, beginning with a garter tab, and includes eyelets, texture stitches, and lace for a light and airy finished shawl. Each section includes a Christ-centered devotional to help you focus on God’s love for you and your love for Him.
