Hello! My goal of making at least one hat for charity each month in 2013 was listed in this blog a couple of months ago, and it was very popular. It led me to starting a group on Ravelry with the same goal, and I was thrilled to see that it passed 100 members in the first week, and is now at 146!
The idea is that every month I'll try to provide an original hat pattern for folks to make as their charity hat for that month. Some of these hat patterns will become paid patterns after the free month, and others will remain free. Some will be by me, some will be by others who have been kind enough to offer. (Offers still being accepted, by the way! If you submit a pattern to me, please email me directly - esliney@yahoo.com.) Other features of the Ravelry group include moral support, and a listing of dozens of charities accepting donations of hand knits. Here is the first pattern, which will remain free. It can also be found, with charting, at Ravelry.
