Scrunchies for a Cause

During the months of April & May, we are featuring a local teacher who is making scrunchies to raise funds to purchase books for her classroom!  These are super soft and don't give me a headache like other hair rubberbands! I love using them to put my hair up when I sleep!

Read more about this awesome local teacher and her mission to provide books for her students!



My name is Karen Belleque and I teach 2nd grade at a local elementary school.

My class is made of 20 hardworking low-income students who represent eight different cultures. They are trying their best to learn every day and overcome their adversities. One area that has been hit hard by the pandemic is their social-emotional wellbeing. A way to reach these students is through books based on social-emotional topics. Unfortunately, my classroom library does not have many and we are not allowed to use our school library right now.

During the months of April and May, I will be selling handmade velvet scrunchies to help purchase social-emotional books for my students. When you purchase a set of handmade velvet scrunchies I will be able to purchase a book for my class to enjoy.

Please partner with me in providing the books my students need. My handmade velvet scrunchies are exclusively available at A Little Knitty.

Scrunchie sets are $10 each and 80% of the purchase price goes to Karen! That means each set buys a book for her class!!!

You can purchase your scrunchies HERE

If you want to purchase books and have them sent directly to Karen, you can do so here

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
