Knit & Crochet for SCI

For this year’s Good Friday Day of Service, the Narthex Knitters and Crocheters will be making cowls. 
 
What is a cowl?  A 7 inch long circular covering for a man or woman’s neck which adds warmth to outdoor clothing.
 
All are welcome but it would be helpful to have a simple basic knowledge of how to knit or crochet. All cowls that we craft will be donated to the Seamen’s Institute.
 
What is the Seamen’s Church Institute-The Seamen’s Church Institute is an almost 200 year old organization with a long legacy of serving and protecting the personal and professional lives of mariners and seafarers.   They are committed to partnering with the maritime industry to ensure dignity within the workplace.  Through their efforts, mariner’s enjoy a safer more respectful and sustainable maritime community.

What should I bring?
 
You can just show up!!!!! Yarn will be available as well as knitting needles.  If anyone wants to bring their own knitting or crocheting tools here’s what you need to know.
 
The knit cowl requires size 8 knitting needles-16” circular needle preferred but 8” straight needles will work as well. 
 
For the crocheted cowl a US hook I is needed. 
All yarn must be worsted or #4 yarn.
