Methodist Cross Finger Knit Throw Pattern

The Methodist Cross Finger Knit Throw Pattern is a colorwork chart with step-by-step instructions for knitting a graph throw with the cross and flame of the United Methodist Church. A tall black cross stands on a white background beside an orange flame with two tongues, the sign of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, all framed by an orange border. You follow it loop by loop with your fingers to knit a blanket full of faith, a Christian blessing for prayer time, quiet spiritual moments and the whole church family.

The Methodist Cross Finger Knit Throw Pattern keeps the design simple and meaningful in three colors. The black cross runs almost the full height of the chart, the orange flame rises beside it in two tongues split by a thin white line, and the orange border frames the whole picture.

Finger knitting with colorwork means knitting the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Methodist Cross Finger Knit Throw Pattern is knitted in stockinette stitch, and you can follow the colorwork chart, the row-by-row written instructions, or the color blocks – whichever feels most comfortable for you.

What’s Inside the Methodist Cross Finger Knit Throw Pattern

The Methodist Cross Finger Knit Throw Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 loops, row-by-row written instructions, and color blocks that show how many loops of each color to knit. Everything comes in one printable PDF.

Arrows next to each row show the knitting direction, and you always read each row from left to right. Row 1 is knitted from right to left, and if you prefer to start from the other side, one extra background row keeps the design from coming out mirrored. The cast-on row is your foundation row and is not counted. With three colors and several color changes in every row of the design, this is an intermediate project. The gauge is 2.5 loops x 4.2 rows per 10 cm, so check yours before you start.

Chart size: 33 loops x 75 rows.
Color palette used in this design (3 colors): White, Orange, and Black.

Skill level: Intermediate. Three colors, with several color changes in every row of the design.
