What’s a Chi-Rho? This is a common symbol used by Christains to represent Jesus. In Greek, ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ means Christos, or Christ. The Chi-Rho are the names of the first 2 letters in the name, that looks like an x and p in English.

This pattern is for a wall banner that displays this symbol for your home prayer corner or hanging on the wall. This pattern features the 3 dc filet square size. If you make this with 4 dc, it will be larger, but you can follow the chart and do that if you prefer.

Here is a video (also linked in the pattern) to help you understand how to read a chart. I’ve included the chart, and a written pattern to help you get used to how to read a chart. The written pattern is written fully out for a few rows, but then you follow the shorthand of X representing a filled in square, and O to represent an open mesh square.

Also included with the pattern, is a youtube video explaining how to do the chainless foundation stitch if you are not familiar with that. I prefer it, so that I do not have to count lots of chains, and means that by the end of the first row, I have a row of dc, instead of just a row of chains. I love it!

Please feel free to sell the finished ITEMS made from this pattern, but do not give out free, sell, or post this pattern anywhere. That’s just rude, because I worked really hard on this. I’ve kept the price very low, so please don’t give it out free.

Have a great day!! Thank you for stopping by!!
