Pink Pocket Prayer Crosses

I crocheted 32 pocket prayer crosses for a friend who is a leader with the Kairos outside prison ministry. She is helping with an upcoming event where these crosses will be given out to the women attending. Each day a little gift is given out to each person and I was happy to be able to make the pocket crosses.

After I crocheted all the prayer crosses, I did a light starch spray on them. I put them on wax paper and let them dry. You don’t need to do this step but my sport-weight yarn was so thin that I wanted to stiffen them up a bit.

Here is the free Bobble Prayer Pocket pattern. It’s a quick and fun crochet pattern that uses around 12 yards of yarn for each one.

Pocket Prayer Cross Square

I am sharing a wonderful little crochet project called bobble pocket prayer squares. These squares are about 3″ by 3.5″ and use around 11 to 12 yards of worst weight yarn to crochet.

The free crochet pattern for the bobble pocket prayer square is found here at Jamie’s blog. Quoting Jamie, “this hand-held prayer square gives you something to hold while praying and the cross itself is a beautiful texture that is soothing to hold.” The squares are a wonderful little item to give to someone who may be going through a difficult time or just as a small gift of comfort to provide to a person.

Here is a poem that can be added to the bobble prayer square that is used with permission from Nana48532 from Ravelry.
