Introducing Halata! Week 12 of the 12 Weeks of Hat Patterns

 It's the last pattern of the 12 Weeks of Hat Patterns!  Halata is the Finnish word for hug.

I hope you enjoyed these new patterns and I hope you will be using them to make many chemo caps in the future.  Let me know which one was your favorite!  I hope to design more hats in 2024.

This model was knit using Charisma, a 5-weight yarn what is very soft and quite warm!  The pattern has instructions for all yarn weights, so grab what's in your stash and get knitting.  This pattern looks great in any weight.  Knit the brim in the same color if you'd like.  Have fun with it.

For 12 Wednesdays I posted a brand new pattern, with instructions in all yarn weights, for all to share.  Feel free to use the patterns to make gifts for friends and family, but also, please try to make some to donate.  Donate locally if you can - every place needs chemo caps.  Or send them to me and I will get them to people who need them.  Together, we really are making a difference. 

Did you knit an Abbraccio from Week 1 yet?  What colors did you use?

Did you knit a Knuffel from Week 2 ?


Did you knit a Drukkie from Week 3?


Did you knit an Amplexus from Week 4?


Did you knit an Awhi from Week 5?

Did you knit a Barróg from Week 6?

Did you knit a Memeluk from Week 7?

Did you knit a Fusi from Week 8?


Did you knit a Kram from Week 9?


Did you knit an Uścick from Week 10?

Did you knit a Cálin from Week 11?

Chemo caps are in high demand right now, so please consider helping out.  Those of you who use my patterns, but don't donate chemo caps, please consider donating financially to help defray shipping and supply costs.  Annual expenses covered by my family to run DEHH run in the thousands.  All hats are always shipping completely free of charge to centers and individuals. 

On the right side of the blog there is a "Donate Now" button that allows you to donate via PayPal.  All donations are used to help with shipping and supply costs.  Supplies include bags and tags for each individual hat as well as shipping boxes, packing tape, printer ink, paper, etc. 

There is also a link to my Ravelry patterns.  All pattern sales are put right back into shipping and supply costs.  

Pattern books, both e-book and paperback, can be purchased on Amazon as well.

If you want to help support us in other ways, please join our Facebook page and see all the beautiful hats that are donated.  Visit our Website.  Follow us on Instagram or Twitter.  Share, comment and like posts to spread the word about the need for chemo caps.  Tell your friends about us.  You never know who else may want to get involved.

Remember, just ONE skein of yarn is needed to make a difference in someone's life.  I bet you have a skein of yarn lying in your stash that you could use to help someone through a difficult time.
