Crocheted Prayer shawl patterns

Looking for a free prayer shawl pattern?  New to crochet?  One place I found, online, is www.redheart.com.  When you arrive at their website, they have a "learn" button, where you can find out all about the basics of crochet.  Check out the "Free Patterns" section, and you'll find several free patterns for easy crocheted shawls (the Musical Shells Shawl Crochet Pattern only uses Chain, Single Crochet, and Double Crochet stitches).

Or, if you want something even easier, I'm currently working on a shawl for which you chain (c) 52, turn with 2 chains, then half double crochet (hdc) in each chain (all 52), turn with 2 chains, repeat hdc in each stitch ...until you come to the wrap-around length you desire.  Yes, it is quite plain and simple, but sometimes, that's all that's needed.  I'm using a 10mm (US N-hook) and Lion Brand Homespun (which I love because it is ripply and soooo soft).  The shawl will fall from the neck down the back about 20 inches with this particular yarn/hook combination, and while I've yet to finish, I think it may take 3 skeins, perhaps a bit more, if I add fringe and depending upon how much of a "hug" I want this shawl to provide!

Please feel free to share your favorite patterns, yarns, websites, books, as we create these prayer shawls for our ingathering worship at Annual Conference this June.
