Cross Prayer Cloth (Crochet)

                                               Crochet Prayer Cloth
What better way to honor our Lord then to create a Prayer cloth with His love & Prayers to remind us always of the ultimate Love He gave for us.

I’ve created this Prayer cloth with the Cross filled with X’s & O’s {Universal sign for Hugs & Kisses} and am pleased to share this with you.


Prayer Cloths are Scriptural, {Acts 19:12} “Some people took handkerchiefs and clothes that Paul had used and put them on the sick. When they did this, the sick were healed and evil spirits left them.” (NCV) {I like the NIV & KJV as well}


SPECIAL STITCH: X ‘s & O’s Stitch:
ch 1, skip 2 sts, 1 dc in next, then work 1 dc “BEHIND” dc you just worked and into the front of prev. st, ch 1, skip next dc


H hook

Row 1: Ch 28, 1 sc in second ch from hook, & in remaining ch’s., ch 2 and turn

Row 2: {ch 2 counts as dc} 1 dc in each st across, ch 1 turn

Row 3: 1 sc in each st across *{& ch 1 space where applies} , ch 2 turn

Row 4: 1 dc in 12 sts, ch 1, skip 2 sts, 1 dc in next, then work 1 dc “BEHIND” dc you just worked, ch 1, skip next dc, dc in next 12 sts, ch 1 & turn {12 dc, skip 1, X st made, skip 1, 12 dc}

Rows 5-12: Repeat Rows 3 & 4 - 4 more times

Row 13: dc in next 6 sts, ch 1, skip 2 sts, 1 dc in next, then work 1 dc “BEHIND” dc you just worked, ch 1, skip next dc (total of 5 times) , dc in next 6 sts, ch 1 turn.

Row 14 – 16 – 18 : Repeat row 3

Row’s 15 -17: Repeat row 4

Row 19: Repeat row 2

Row 20: Repeat Row 3
TRIM:
Trim of your choice, I use several different trim on my Prayer Cloths, BUT this one in the photo is my “1,2,3 Trim”


{“1,2,3 Trim”}
1 sc around cloth except in corners, work 3 sc in each corner, join, sl t into center sc of corner, {1 sc, ch 2, 3 dc in this st} *sk 2 sts, {1 sc, ch 2, 3 dc in next st} *Repeat Around. Join & Finish Off, tuck in tail



All gifts of Prayer & Blessing Cloths are made from love and donated to touch the life of one of God's Children from 0-to-99yrs.
Please give God all the Honor & Glory as He does (all) the work through me, I'm but His servant.

Thank You Lord for allowing me to be an ever so small part of this Love..."JMSQ"

  2. Jean I have been making the prayer clothe with the cross in it for about two
    years now , I give them to the people in my church who are sick and the one who can't make it to church any more. And to someone who needs a little more faith. Thank you so much for the pattern.
