Flower Petal Prayer Shawl Crochet Pattern

The Flower Petal Prayer Shawl Crochet Pattern is a beautiful and comforting triangle shawl designed to wrap someone in warmth and love. This pattern pairs perfectly with the Flower Petal Cap and is part of the Crochet Along for a Cause—a summer-long event focused on crafting handmade items for those in need.

Whether you’re making it as a gift of encouragement or donating to a cancer center or shelter, this shawl offers both style and heartfelt comfort.

Elegant Texture + Meaningful Design

This shawl features a mix of thoughtful stitches:

• Half double crochet in the third loop creates soft ridges and texture
• Filet crochet sections add an airy, lightweight feel
• Scalloped edging finishes the piece with a delicate, floral-inspired border

The shaping is a classic triangle that drapes beautifully over the shoulders or around the neck. It’s a peaceful project to make and a truly special gift to give.

Pattern Highlights:

• Classic triangle shawl shape
• Textured and open stitch pattern for visual interest
• Lightweight and cozy—great for all seasons
• Matches the Flower Petal Cap for a complete donation set
• Perfect for donations to cancer centers, prayer groups, or shelters

Yarn Suggestions

This pattern works well with any soft, worsted weight yarn. Choose a color that brings comfort—pink is especially lovely for breast cancer support, but any calming or uplifting hue will work.

Part of the Crochet Along for a Cause

The Flower Petal Prayer Shawl is part of my Crochet Along for a Cause, where we’re stitching hats, scarves, and shawls for donation all summer long. You can participate by crocheting one item or several—it all makes a difference.

What Is a Prayer Shawl?

A prayer shawl is a handmade wrap or scarf created with the intention of offering comfort, support, and love to someone going through a difficult time. These shawls are often gifted during illness, grief, or major life transitions and serve as a tangible reminder that the recipient is cared for. Many crocheters pray, reflect, or send positive thoughts while working on each stitch, infusing the shawl with meaning and compassion. Whether religious or simply heartfelt, a prayer shawl is a beautiful expression of hope and kindness.
