The Healing Shawl

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. **Construction:** The Healing Shawl is a triangle shawl made with granny stitches and very simple increases. It was designed as an advent project, but would make a wonderful scrappy/stash busting project as well. **Difficulty Level:** Adventurous Beginner - You will need to know FDC, DC, and how to read your stitches and chains. **Suggested Yarn:** 12 or 25 day (20 g/87 yd) fingering weight mini skein advent Sample made with Chelsea Yarns 2024 Holiday advent **Finished Shawl Measurements and Yardage:** 12 day advent shawl - 69” x 30”, approximately 1,044 yards 25 day advent shawl- 90” x 44”, approximately 2,175 yards **Materials:** 4.0 mm G hook (or whatever size needed to meet gauge/to achieve your desired fabric) Scissors Tape Measure/Ruler Yarn Needle 50% of all pattern sales will be donated each month to an animal shelter or mental health charity of my choice.
