How to Knit a Pocket Prayer Cloth

June 8, 2018 by Sarah White 3 Comments

With all the sad news of high-profile suicides lately, it’s important to take the time to make sure that the people we care about know we care about them and are thinking about them.

That can be as simple as picking up the phone and calling or sending an email, or making them something special to remind them of our good thoughts.

I came across this pattern for a knit pocket prayer cloth and I thought it might be an appropriate gesture for some people to let them know you are thinking of them.

It’s a simple square with bobbles in the shape of a cross. If you’re knitting for someone who is not Christian or whose religious feeling you don’t know about, you could use a heart shape instead.

Why Not Knit a Tiny Llama?

I’ve been enjoying knit amigurumi animal patterns lately (see also: this adorable knit pigeon) and of course being a knitter I love llamas.

So when I saw this little llama pattern I knew I had to share it.

The appropriately named Llama patter from Annie Ahn calls for fingering weight yarn, and it uses two colors for the body and three for the little blanket. The pompom can be made to match or in another color. All of these parts take tiny amounts of yarn so you can use whatever scraps you have left over from socks or other projects and change colors whenever you need to.

It might also be fun to use some mohair or other fuzzy or textured yarn on this one to give your llama a different look. In all the project uses between 100 and 150 yards, or 91-137 m, of yarn and the llama comes out about 10 cm/4 inches tall.

The body of the llama is worked in one piece, so this project is suited to intermediate knitters or those who have comfort working in the round and with all those little pieces.

This one is made to be small so you can carry it around with you (it would be super cute on a keychain or as a zipper pull) but I think it would be a lot of fun to knit this in larger yarn, too, to make a bigger llama. You could even make a whole family in different sizes just by using different weights of yarn and corresponding needles.

The details are so cute, from the shaggy hair to its little accessories, but you could make it plain or change it up by knitting a tiny scarf or even working a little fair isle pattern on the legs or body. So many fun possibilities!

The pattern is available on Ravelry in English and Korean.
