Some churches have started a new ministry using small knitted prayer cloths to give as reminders of God's presence in our lives.  I've searched the internet for patterns and have adapted them to this ministry.  The first one follows, and I intend to add more.

  Use knitting worsted on size 7 needles.
 Cast on 16 stitches with long tail cast on.
 
 Rows 1-4: knit
 Row 5: k4, p8, k4  (Extra k sts help prevent rolling.)
