KNIT-CROCHET Group

Meets Tuesdays at 10 a.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room.

All skill levels are invited to attend.

Want to learn or need help? We have experienced knitters and crocheters who are willing to answer questions and provide guidance.

This group regularly knits prayer blankets and prayer shawls that are delivered to folks in the hospital or who are home bound.

We also make dishcloths that are included in Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes each year. Below are two patterns for creating dishcloths.

Can't make it on Tuesday? You can still create projects and we'll be happy to collect and distribute them.

If you have questions, contact the Church Office (252-756-1245)

Repeat Row 3 until you have 4 stitches on the needle. You can now either bind off or do a round of single crochet and make a little loop of chain stitches in one corner so you can hang the cloth to dry when you are finished using it.
