Thank you so much for choosing to make a prayer blanket with me this Lent! If you don't already have the supplies you need, you can get the list on this page. 

 

The basic construction of this blanket is 9 squares all sewn together at the end. Therefore, only the basic knit stitch is needed throughout this project. Each day, you will work on a little bit more of a square, and then you will spend the last four days sewing the squares together and weaving in your ends! Sounds easy, but staying consistent with knitting each day is a challenge. Do your best to stay current, but you can always use each Sunday to catch up on what you missed!

 

Day 5 (February 19th):

Now, we are repeating the same steps from the previous square for the remaining 8 squares. Today, you will cast on 27 stitches in the color you chose for square 2. After you cast on your stitches, you will knit 13 rows in that same color.

 

Day 6 (February 20th):

Continue knitting square 2 for another 13 rows.

 

Day 7 (February 21st):

Continue knitting square 2 for another 13 rows.

 

Day 8 (February 22nd):

Continue knitting square 2 for another 13 rows. After knitting the 13 rows, you will cast off your knitting the same way you did for the first square.

 

Day 9 (February 23rd):

Today, we will start the 3rd square. Cast on 27 stitches in the color you chose for square 3. After casting on, knit for 13 more rows.

 

Day 10 (February 24th):

Continue knitting square 3 for another 13 rows.
