#hatnothate


F.A.Q's


Q: What exactly is #HATNOTHATE? 
A: #HATNOTHATE was launched in 2018 as an antibullying campaign founded by Shira Blumenthal. We encourage people to make, wear, and post handmade blue hats, adding #HATNOTHATE when sharing on social platforms. Hats are distributed to schools nationwide, educating students about the message of kindness. 

Q: Why do the hats need to be blue? 
A: The color blue represents awareness, peace, and solidarity. Blue is the color to wear in support of anti-bullying. 

Q: What are the requirements for the blue hats I want to donate? 
A: As we are looking to fit a wide range of sizes (for ages 5 to 18), most hat sizes are appropriate, i.e. ranging from 16 inches to 20 inches in circumference. Close-fitting beanie style as well as slouchy style hats are welcome. 
 • Hats should be handmade using any blue yarn and should be at least 75% blue  
• Blue hats need to be received by August 1, 2022. 

Q: Where do I donate my blue hat? 
A: #HATNOTHATE has partnered with small businesses across the United States. These locations are referred to as our Official Drop-off Points. Find your local Drop-off Points on our website. HINT: A LITTLE KNITTY IS AN OFFICIAL DROP-OFF POINT!!!

Q: Where do my hats go? 
A: The official #HATNOTHATE Drop-off Points will partner with local schools. These schools will receive handmade blue hats.

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!):  Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here:  Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

This eliminates the purl stitches looking a little funky (if you know, you know).  We decreased by 25% of the stitches about halfway through the cowl to allow the top of the cowl to be a little closer to the neck and the bottom spread over your shoulders if you want to wear it that way! We gave you little check boxes to check off as you complete repeats. **PATTERN** Using Main Color, CO92, place stitch marker and join in the round Round 1: (K2, P2) Repeat parentheses all the way around Repeat Round 1 six more times       ⃞          ⃞...
