Cherry Hearts Prayer Shawl

Drape yourself in love this Valentine's Day with this Cherry Hearts Prayer Shawl pattern. The shell stitches that make up this crochet prayer shawl create a loving pattern that reminds you of hearts. It's also a larger shawl than most, so it really brings in the warmth and is a great spring wearable. Drape it over a turtleneck for chillier days, or just wear a loose tank underneath as it starts to get warmer. This would make a wonderful gift for friends this Valentine's Day to remind them how much you care.
