It's Friday again, which means another free pattern post from me. Today I'm focusing on patterns that would make wonderful gifts for your favorite pastor or church staff member. I was inspired to make these patterns when the pastor from my church in high school announced he was retiring this summer. All of these would make nice gifts for a retiring pastor, or to thank your church if you are moving away and no longer will be attending. The first three patterns are my own creations made using stitchboard.com, the rest are links from other various free pattern websites. Enjoy!
1. I want to start out with a simple pillow pattern. This fish symbol would be a cute gift for your church staff or to donate to your church's youth center or community center as decoration. It's a relatively simple pattern that I think anyone with a basic knowledge of crochet could figure out. This graph is available for download on the stitchboard.com free pattern shop.
2. My second pattern is a throw blanket featuring the emblem of the Lutheran Church (the Luther Rose). This is most definitely a pattern for the advanced crocheter and will probably take a few weeks-months to complete, depending on your skill level. Also, if I'm being perfectly honest, I'm not 100% satisfied with the way this pattern turned out. I need to make some more corrections, but it should at least be workable as is. If you would like this pattern, please email me (email address at top of blog) and I will send you a .jpg of the graph.
3. The last graph that I personally made is the emblem of the United Methodist Church. My husband and I are still finding a church that fits us best since we moved, but we really like our local UMC congregation. I'm hoping to complete this to give to the lead pastor before we move again in a few years. This pattern is also available by email so just send me a message and I'll get you the .jpg as soon as possible.
Now for some bonus patterns from other designers on other sites. Happy crafting! :)
