The Prayer Shrug came about when I had a bit of eye strain and didn’t want to have to read instructions for a while. So I made it up as I went along. I like using numbers associated with the bible. I used 5 rows of 2 X 2 ribbing for Mathew Mark Luke John and Acts, 12 rows of stockinette for the 12 apostles and 12 foundations of heaven, 3 rows of holes for Father Son and Holy Spirit and one row of holes for 1 God. I hope you enjoy this meditative study as much as I have. As you can see, I also had to add some beads on the lower edge. This is optional and I would suggest using lobster claw clasps to add them so they can be removed easily when washing. Have fun.
