This pattern is crocheted using a single strand of worsted weight yarn.

It will feel awkward to insert the hook so far to the right. Be sure to pull up a long enough loop so that the fabric doesn’t get tight or puckered. This last stitch will lay on top of the previous three in the “backslash” direction and look similar from both sides.

Alice’s Embrace is devoted to providing hand-knit and hand-crocheted prayer shawls and lap blankets to those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. We seek volunteers to knit and crochet the patterns that we have created. Our patterns are designed for Alice’s Embrace recipients. However, if you intend to use them for personal use or another organization, please consider making a donation here to help offset our day-to-day expenses.

Through the loving hands of many generous and talented people, this endeavor will help comfort and ease the anxiety that is often present in those suffering from the disease.
