Beautiful shawl, Julee! I found your blog when I was checking out "Crochetville", and saw that you had your own blog. I think it's cool you live in Bonner's Ferry, because I have some acquaintances there. =D --Amanda (18)
ReplyDeleteWow, That's really cool!! I probably know them then and if I don't one of my family members probably does!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a comment!!

Julee what size is this shawl by the pattern posted. How would I down size to a baby size 0-12 months or a child's size 5-6T
DeleteJulee...I just love your Angel Wing Pattern. It is so beautiful! I printed it out and can't hardly wait to crochet it. I belong to a Ministry called "For The Heart" and we crochet and knit gifts for people in need of comfort and to also let them know that they are cared about. I love what I do, it's such a good feeling inside to know I touched someone elses life. I also have 2 blogs. "Made With Love" http://mamaswhitedove2003.blogspot.com and "Moments And Memories" http://aprilleigh1953.blogspot.com You are welcome to visit them.April
ReplyDeleteHi Julee,
ReplyDeleteit's a wonderful shawl. I've crochetted it actually. Thank you for the pattern!
Many greetings from Germany,
Moni
This is just beautiful, Julee. I really appreciate you posting the pattern as well. I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteThis has become a favorite of mine. I've done two of them. Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteHello J-
ReplyDeleteI love your angel wings shawl. I have been (attempting) to crochet for many years now, but only making simple things like kitchen towels and dishrags. Now that I am all grown up and a Grandma I am on to other projects...like your shawl. It is my first attempt at crocheting anything bigger than a kitchen towel. IF I ever finish I will send you a pic. Thank you for sharing this delightful pattern.
Love that Toby Keith!

See you on Ravelry!
thank you for the pattern, I love making shawls with it. I make them for a small bistro here on Saba. They are all gifted to a couple of friends who started up the cafe and asked me to make some shawls to keep the guests happy while dining al fresco in the evenings. it is so fun, no money passes between us, I get to try out all kinds of patterns and yarn and the guests are happy

This is the most beautiful shawl I believe I have ever seen. I am a nut about butterflies so of course to me is a butterfly too. Thanks so much for the pattern. I can't wait to make it. Wish I knew a little more about fixing these blogs up.

Hi Julee . I was browsing thru patterns and ran across your Angels Wings Patterns and love it. I am going to make it for a couple of friends that are going through chemo for breast cancer. nancy
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern!! I love angel and butterfly patterns. I make prayer shawls for the Martha Ministry group in Missoula, MT. I'm always looking for new patterns, as I get tired of doing the same old ones. Can't wait to try it on my next one!! Vicky
ReplyDeleteI love the concept of the angel shawl but I noticed something on the top ends. They are not identical. Is this a mistake or intentional.
ReplyDeleteDiane

This is the perfect pattern for my resident in the nursing home I work in.She wears a shawl everyday, I'm doing this one in Lilac for easter. Do you think I can add ribbon flowers to it ?
ReplyDeleteJulee, This shawl is so beautiful. I am making it for a friend who is dealing with cancer. I wanted a shawl that would be like being wrapped in angel wings and this does it just fine.
ReplyDeleteI have had no problems with the pattern. It is well written.
And when I get it finished, I'm going to make a flower to pins on it.

Dear Julee,
ReplyDeletefirst of all many thanks for you great pattern.
I would like to ask you, if I can use this pattern for a KAL in my Facebook groop?
We are a german-speaking group (Swiss, Germany, Austria) and i may have to translate this.
Please be so kind and let me know by mail (i did not find any mailadress of you) blacklady.dirval@gmail.com
I hope this will be okay for you - I will translate the pattern with your copyright.
Many thanks Blacky

Julee,
ReplyDeleteJust a note to say thanks for the free pattern… I like to do that when I come across such things from a real person. Of course a part of me knows every pattern has a creator, but names and contact info aren’t always at hand. In the interest of truth I suppose I should say I am rather compelled to send these notes, my Dear Old Sainted Mother was rather a stickler for thank you notes, and promised me a good old fashion haunting should I fail. I’m inclined to believe her, to my knowledge she only lied to me once, and that at about the age of three; she told me, strait faced, the fried green tomatoes she set before me was meat with seeds. I didn’t fall for the ploy; I was three, not stupid. John

I make shawls for my local nursing home and I am always looking for new patterns for my ladies. This pattern is beautiful and I have the perfect lady in mind for this shawl. I can't wait to get started on this pattern and I am going to do it in blue as that is her favorite color. Thank you for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteJulee, thank you so very much for this pattern. I made this, in a day, for church. I did it in a boucle yarn and it turned out absolutely gorgeous. Some of the ladies at church want me to make them one. God bless you and your wonderful patterns. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteSnaps
Wonderful pattern thank you. I have been crocheting caps/hats for sometime now but my best friend, who is taking Chemo, asked that I do a shawls because patients get cold during the treatment. So now that is my mission along with the hats.

I couldn't figure out the pattern on the third row. Otherwise, the finished project in the picture is gorgeous! Would love to be able to figure out my mistake!
ReplyDeleteDiane
I can't get this to work either....wish I knew what I was doing wrong.
DeleteThis is a stunning pattern. The only problem I've had is trying to print it. I get the first page of the instructions and couple of blank pages, and a cover page, but nothing beyond row 5. Fortunately, I was able copy the balance of the instructions by hand, but I'm puzzled by the problem with printing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful pattern. However I cannot figure out the "things" that are in the parenthesis at the end of each row of pattern directions. For example, end of row 2 (1-shell, 2-V sts, 6-ch 1 spaces {including ch 1 in V Sts}) This is definitely NOT a review of the stitches in that row. H-E-L-P!!!

ReplyDeleteI love your butterfly shawl, I would be interested in getting your permission to make a few to sell. But all the proceeds will go to my church for mission work. I will not start any until I can hear from you, though. We are not having the bazaar until the first weekend in December, but need time to work on them. Thanks, Belinda
ReplyDeleteHi Belinda,
ReplyDeleteThank you for asking! Selling the shawls at your bazaar is fine. Thank you again for asking.
Happy Crocheting!!
Julee
Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. I am going to make this for my grandadaughter .. She is going to a father and Daughters dance. She dosen't have a Father so she is going with grandpa......thanks again
ReplyDeleteThis shawl is absolutely amazing! What a wonderful creation for mission work. I would probably make a few for my family members here in Michigan after I relocate to Atlanta, for them to remember me by and keep warm in the winter months.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing the pattern, very easy to work up, never heard of the 'shell in shell' stitch, but with your definitive within the instructions it looks very easy to work up.
God Bless,
Crystal
For those of you who have done this,about how many rows did you do?
ReplyDeleteIs anyone else having trouble printing out the pattern? Help!

ReplyDeleteHey Everyone,
ReplyDeleteNot sure why there is a problem printing the pattern. Hopefully it is fixed now. If not, you can go to the link I posted and download a PDF copy that should print without a problem.
Thanks
Julee
Hi There! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful pattern. I am so new to crocheting something...it hurts. I was anxious to crochet this shawl until I heard the ladies say they were having trouble...So I want to ask: How would you rate this pattern?? I know how to do all the stitches, it is the reading of the pattern where I get into trouble. So..would this be something like an Intermediate pattern or should a newbie attempt it ?? Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda Marie,
ReplyDeleteHonestly, the pattern is pretty easy. I edited it a bit yesterday and that should help with some of the confusion but if you take time and read the pattern (and read ahead)you should be fine. If you do have a problem though you can email me at this email address: julee_reeves@yahoo.com and I will get back to you asap.
Thanks
Julee
The picture I first saw of your shawl and the instuctions posted do not add up to the picture. There are some filled in spaces on bottom front edges that there are no instuctions for. Have printed picture and hopefully will be able to figure it out. Otherwise, beautiful pattern.
ReplyDeleteThe edging in the example pic here on my blog and in the pdf version on ravelry is the exact same one that the instructions are written for.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the pattern.
I Love this shawl. I did one for a dear friend I will be visiting in May. I did her's with simply soft yarn and K hook. I am working on a second on I would like to keep but I might give it to my sister. I am using cotton yarn with the K hook.
ReplyDeleteThank you, this is a great pattern for a beginner, works up very fast.
Thank you for this pattern! It's so beautiful and looks like it'll work up fast. I've been making a "lapghan" to donate to a nursing home for a resident in need so the shawl will be something nice to donate also. Love the picture of your beautiful baby boy. He's precious!
ReplyDeleteI have just finished this pattern in white for my niece's 17th birthday. Very simple pattern, easy to follow instructions - thank you!
ReplyDeleteI would like a copy of the white angel wing pattern but have not found a place to get the correct pattern. Help
ReplyDeleteI made your pattern in a baby white in a size for my 7 year old Grand Daughter to wear with her First Communion Dress It came out just beautiful! Thank you. I had been looking all over for a pattern I could make for a child for this purpose and this one was perfect!
ReplyDeleteBarb
I couldn't wait to start this shawl. It's a gift for my cousin in Florida. I know she'll love it as much as I do. Thanks for the pattern and keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteHi JR I love this pattern I'm new to the crochet world and want to attempt to make it. I was wanting to know what size does it come out to. I guess what I'm asking is. Is this for an adult? I've only been crocheting for a year and only have made beanies and pot holders but love this pattern. I hope this is not a crazy ? . Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFran
Hi Fran,
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those patterns that you make as big as you'd like. It's really a matter of what's comfy for you.
I hope you enjoy the pattern and thanks for your comment. Happy Crocheting!!
Julee
I LOVE this shawl but I am such a visual learner!! Is there a tutorial for this???
ReplyDeleteIs this a small over the shoulder shall, or does it cover pretty well. Someone mentioned they made it for a 7 year old. That makes me think it's pretty small.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Thank you so much for creating this pattern. I have made several and donated them to one of my local senior care facilites and to a cancer patient and a lady undergoing kidney dialasis. They love them and I have been getting requests for many more.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely pattern. I have been wanting to make a prayer shawl for some time now but this is the first I thought I would enjoy doing.
ReplyDeleteI plan on doing it with #10 cotton thread.
I know it will take longer but really believe it will be well worth the final results.
God bless
Can someone suggest what kind of yarn to use? I'm making it for a friend who has cancer. That name of the shawl angel wings made me think of her. She is young (51). Please answer as soon as possible God can call at any time. Thank you for your time and God bless you all.

ReplyDeleteHi Julee,
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to see someone else who spells their name correctly.
I am going to try your Angel Wing Pattern for the VA hospital here in Wyoming. The permanent patients like using shawls or ponchos on these cold and windy Wyoming days.
Thanks for the nice website.
Julee Kramer
Thank you for posting this pattern. It looks like one I had in the 80s for a triangle shell stitch shawl that was so easy. Somehow I lost the pattern and have been looking for it for years. I'm going to start this one tonight.
ReplyDeleteI made this for a Special Lady in September. Then in October she turned around and gave me two huge bags of yarn that she said she was not going to use. She also told me NOT to make her anything, but to make things for others and that would make her happy. And so I did. But when her birthday came in January, I surprised her with this Angel Wing Shawl. Previously, she was a Nun for 29 years of her life. When I showed her the diagram of the "wings" she was absolutely delighted. Thank you so much for making this pattern available to me so that she could have that much enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what how big this is ,it looks very small,if any one has made it and knows how big it is please post measures
ReplyDeletethank you Linda
dose anyone know what the measures are for this,?.It looks very small.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone has made this and has the measures could you please post,
thank you,linda
Hi Linda, I'm the designer. The photo just shows the first few rounds of the shawl. You can make it as big or as small as you like. It's very customizable. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Julee, I really do wish you would make this angel wings shawl as a video tutorial. I love the pattern, but would be helped so much if I could see the stitches being made. I am sure others would to. This is a wonderful design! Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteJimmie Anne
I am making these right now. I am making them small as a shoulder shawl for the seniors at the home next door to me...they love em and I do too Thanks for sharing!! Easy pattern!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful shawl pattern!! My daughter has a friend that is just wonderful to our family and I have been looking for a shawl pattern so I can make her something that will give her a hug whenever she needs/wants one.
ReplyDeleteJulee, I was looking to make a prayer shawl and found you. I just finished 2 of these, I am so happy they came out beautiful, they are going to 2 special ladies. I am sure they will feel the Blessings. Thanks so much for this Angel Wings pattern. Bless You!

ReplyDeleteMade this shawl in one week. Cannot believe how beautiful it is. Was planning to keep it, but since I work with Hospice, I may see how many I can make between now and Christmas. I used Red Heart Boutique Treasure in Spectrum and a K hook. So, so soft and cuddly. Thank you for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteHow large is this shawl? I love it but I am a big lady and I wonder if it will fit me.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful and special pattern. I have made 2 more "Angel Wings" Prayer Shawls in Orchid with white trim and in coffee colors...they both came out so different and Beautiful making them one of a kind. These went to two special ladies in my life, my older sister and my niece, with prayers and blessings to bring them comfort in the loss of my niece. They loved them...Thanks so much for sharing your pattern. Blessings to you, Evelyn
ReplyDelete*ANSWER ON SIZES; I made them very large so they can wrap around them completely. 72" across top and the second one was 78" across top. It depends on the size of the person and how big you want to make it. Hope this helps.
Did you just add rows? I am plus size
DeleteDid you just add rows? I am plus size
DeleteThis is such a beautiful pattern. Was looking for one to do for a cousin in-law of mine she was diagnosed with breast cancer on July 5, 2015.
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is beautiful - and coincidentally makes a gorgeous Bat Wing costume for babies when you subsitute shell stitches where the V stitches are.
ReplyDeleteI am lost at the end of row 2 - it says at last chain 1 to do 2 double crochets, chain 2, then 1 double crochet, then to double crochet in top of change 3 - if I do that, it closes it up? I tried dropping down to row one instead of chain 3 of this row 2, and crochet in top of original chain 3 of row 1 and that seems better as it completes shell "somewhat" (where you had 2 dc, ch 2, ONE dc prior instead of full butterfly)....
ReplyDeletePlease clarify "which" ch 3 to double crochet in to end the rows - I assumed it was the chain 3 the row was started with, but that closes it up instead of it being open at the beginning like your picture.
I am not a novice crocheter, have crocheted several years, but for some reason having trouble at the ends of rows 2-5 due to the "dc in ch 3".
Thanks - Love the pattern and would like to sell to support Albany (Georgia) Pink Breast Cancer walk in March, and am hoping that's okay also.
Joyce H.
Love the pattern. I've made several for people who have experienced losses. In the card, I tell then I have left a mistake in the shawl to remind them that angels are not always perfect, but they are still angels with comforting hugs for them. I've had some tears, but great full ones. Thank you for "angel wings".
ReplyDeleteElaine
This is such a pretty pattern. Can't wait to try it out! But first I have a large project I need to finish, lol. Unfortunately I had to rip out months of work because stitch count was way off. Oh, well. I've learnt a very valuable lesson. Always count stitches after your completed row/round. Nope, never gonna make that mistake again.
ReplyDeleteAnyways thanks for sharing a lovely pattern. I have some nice yarn to try this on. ^_^
All of my son and dil's daughter...there are five...asked me to make them shawls for their birthdays and I've been having a hard time finding one for the dgd who will be 6 in August. This one will be perfect. Thank you so much for posting this and giving it free. I have a feeling I'll be making a lot of these in larger sizes too for some who are in need of comfort and caring because this is also a perfect prayer shawl.
ReplyDeleteshould be daughters...five of them
ReplyDeleteHi your pattern looks so pretty .. I was wondering .. I keep trying to find a shawl such as this one .. that will fit me with room to spare ! .. I'm 2X and so many shawls are one size fits most .. and I'm not within most.. can you advise ?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much
Barbara
Has anyone ever spoken with the owner of this pattern? I tried emailing her but have not received a reply.
ReplyDeleteI'm making this for special people in my life and I really hope they love it I love this design and if I get confused I think I will email you for help I've only been crocheting since 2015. My name is Erica :-)
ReplyDeleteJulee- Just found your pattern for Angel Wings. I used to work as a Secretary for our church along with another gal and she and I ended up being best friends. We are both elderly now and retired and unfortunately, I moved away from her, but we still keep in touch every week by phone and luckily for me, she has a son living about 1/2 hour from where we live now, so we do get to spend some time together in the summer months. Because we both are retired and have our own separate talents, mine of course is crocheting. I plan on making your beautiful angel wings prayer shawl for her for either her birthday or for Christmas next year. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful pattern. I too make things for the homeless. I make hats, cowls, mittens and if I am asked to do a lap blanket for someone, I certainly will do it. So who knows, if my church does prayer shawls, I will definitely make your pattern. Who wouldn't want such a beautiful shawl?? Thank you again for this beautiful pattern you are sharing.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYour model I like, but I can not read the explanations, I'm French. Would it be possible to have a diagram?
Thank you
I don't understand when it says to " Dc in top of beg ch3, turn" at the end of the beginning rows. When I did this step, it looked like a circle or circled around looking like a circle. Could this be explained clearer so as to me being able to understand how to do this? I had help with the first couple of rows until I got to row 4 or 5. It was okay after that to do. I wish it could be explained better and clearer enough for me to do this on my own. I wanted to do this another color after the one I am working on.
ReplyDeleteThanks
