Thank you from Hat Not Hate Recipients

Speaking of collecting things....

Last year we collected blue hats for Hats Not Hate and delivered 518 hats to a local elementary school! The school staff and students were BLOWN away by the love that was put into each hat and couldn't believe every child in the school received one!!

This year, we are collecting again, but I'm going to start the collection NOW in order to reach our goal of 550 hats!

To read more about the charity, go HERE. They have information about the hat guidelines and pattern suggestions...although you can make ANY hat style that you would like, as long as it is blue!

Please consider checking out your stash and see if you can knit/crochet up a hat this year! You don't have to do many hats to be involved...just ONE makes a huge difference!

The banners were HUGE and the school was so thankful! Thank YOU to all who helped last year and I look forward to seeing what we can do this year!!

We are collecting now through the beginning of September!

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!

Chemo Caps - Part 2

The Gia Chemo Cap doesn't have the same sort of story behind it as the Karen Cap , but it was developed with Chemo patients in mind! Please share this pattern with anyone who would like to knit a hat for someone in need! You can download your pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gia-chemo-cap
