Knitting Group | Help Needed

The St Patrick’s Knitting Group was formed in 2006 to create blankets for the less fortunate in our local community. 

Each year a team of students devote Monday lunchtime to knit squares for these blankets. Many students also sew the squares together and form them into blankets. Each blanket contains approximately 25 squares. We have a group of ex-staff and friends of the College who come in each week to work with the girls. 

Can you help? We would really appreciate knitted squares to help build up our blankets. 

Use 8ply yarn (any type) and cast on 50 stitches. 4mm needles are the best, but as long as the needles are not too big or small they will do the job. Knit in garter stitch. When you can fold your square diagonally, corner to corner, you know your square is finished!

We have donated wool if you would like to use that instead of purchasing wool.

Please contact Fran Musico Rullo for any queries fmusicorullo@saintpatricks.nsw.edu.au.

We would also like to thank Ms St John for coming in on Open Day to speak with potential parents at the Knitting Club display.
