Merry Christmas.
But please if you can spare a little of your time knit a square or three for our 3 Square Appeal.
Hundreds of Syrians crossed into Turkey on Monday, a day after an airstrike reportedly targeted a bakery and killed scores of people in a rebel-held Syrian town, 1,100, refugees mostly women and children arrived on foot or by cars. Turkey is now hosting more than 145,000 refugees from Syria in 13 refugee camps and soon to be 3 more.

I realise the cost of sending items by post especially to Turkey can be costly. Therefore I've decided to launch this 3 square appeal. I am asking everyone especially during the season of goodwill even though it's a very busy time, PLEASE spare a thought for the Children of the Syrian refugees and if you could knit just 3 squares they would fit easily into an envelope and postage shouldn't be too great.
Please if you could just knit or crochet 3 x 8inch squares, pop them in an envelope and send them to the address at the bottom of this page, we will sew them together to make blankets and a child with nothing will get a warm and colourful, cover for their bed!
FOR ONE 8"/20 cms SQUARE, you will need:Yarn from a 100 gram (3.5 oz) ball of yarn or scraps of yarn worsted weight , double knit or 8plySize 4mm needles 10 (USA)A yarn sewing needle. Cast on 32 stitches (try to make your stitches neither too loose nor too tight to help ensure uniform squares) Row 1: knit Row 2: knit. These two rows form the 'garter' stitch knitting pattern for your square but you use any stitch you prefer, beascreative as you like. Continue knitting until you have knitted a square To ensure you square is 8"/20cm either use a tape measure .
Cast off Use your yarn sewing needle to sew in all the yarn ends using a darning method.
VERY IMPORTANT Leave a one metre length of your yarn attached to your work after you have cast off. This will be used to join the squares together. but if you're changing colors work in your other tails. DO NOT TIE AND CUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE KNOT, THAT IS GUARANTEED TO COME UNDONE. Knot if you want, but leave a tail and work in your ends.

leave 1metre of yarn attahed.
We work with reputable, experienced relief agencies to securely transport and distribute our hand-knit and crocheted blankets.

You decrease one then it says Continue in this way... do you mean carry on decreasing one all along to the last three stitches? I thought you meant carry on with a knit row to the last three stitches.. now I am stuck it looks far too long.
