Welcome to Stacey Namaste Designs. This shawl is part of my Knitting for Healing series. Trauma can be defined as “Anything that overwhelms our capacity to cope and leaves us feeling hopeless and helpless,” ~Seane Corn, Yogi and Author. This series was inspired in order to provide choice and control for the maker in size, color scheme, design, and patterning. I hope you have fun, and every time you sit to knit this pattern, you can create a new design of your choosing.

This triangle shawl is designed to provide the maker agency, choice, and variation - you can use any yarn, any size, any color scheme. When worn, it does not need to be worn as a shawl - it can be worn as a scarf. For tips on styling, visit this site: 10 ways to style an asymmetrical shawl

This design, Chair Pose Twist, can be designed to be larger, but I liked making it more compact as a neck warmer for this example. A prayer shawl is designed with the maker focusing specifically on a person to uplift in prayer. Who will you pray for today?

The photographed example is in Universe by Hobbii, 98% Acrylic and 2% Polyester, Color 17, US Needles Size 4. 100g skein.
