Hello Everyone!
It’s day 5 of the 10 days of giving crochet pattern blowout! I can’t believe we’re already half way through! Today I’m bringing a new concept to my website in a super beginner friendly way! This hat is reversible each side is a different color and you can wear it as a hat with a brim or as a long slouchy beanie. The best part? It’s all double crochet stitches. All you need to know how to do is chain, double crochet, slip stitch, and work a decrease.
As I’m sure you all expect by now it’s time to talk about our daily charity which is something I like to raise awareness for during the 10 days of giving pattern blowout. Today we will be talking about a charity meant for crochet and knit items called warm up America. They accept all kinds of crochet and knit items as donations from baby clothes, to hats for all sizes, even blankets or squares that they will assemble into blankets. These items are then distributed from warm up America to homeless shelters, women’s shelters, veteran’s shelters and other places of the like. This is a great way to donate your crochet items without needing to research what fibers and such your local organizations will accept because they do all that work for you.
This pattern along with all others published during the 10 days of giving crochet pattern blowout will be available as a PDF pattern on my Patreon for my $6 tier and up.
