The Healing Shawl is a crochet shawl with soothing and simple granny stitches to help makers find comfort and healing in their stitching.

It’s intended to be used with either a 12 or 25 day fingering weight mini skein advent, but really any weight yarn can be used (shawl measurements and yardage will vary if using different weight yarn).

Included in this pattern:

• The story behind the shawl and yarn (Trigger Warning For Pet Loss)
• The Healing Shawl instructions (beginner friendly with 3 set up rows and 1 row repeat for the whole pattern).
• Mental Health Resources including journal prompts, comfort movie watch list, suggested ASMR videos, and my favorite mental health, grief, and trauma therapy accounts to follow.
