For the spiritual crafters - Shawl Ministry, on how to knit or crochet prayer shawls, complete with creation instructions and multi-cultural prayers. Whether they are called Prayer Shawls, Comfort Shawls, Peace Shawls, or Mantles, etc., the shawl maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. Upon completion, a final blessing is offered before the shawl is sent on its way.
