I've got 12 new hat patterns to share this year in the countdown to the end of 2025! Similar to the past few sets of patterns each hat will be named the same, but in different languages. Each pattern will be added to this blog post to make it simple to find them all. They will also be on my Ravelry page.
This set is going to be named "Friend"
I hope you will join along and try out some new patterns while making hats for those undergoing chemotherapy. These patterns will all have instructions for all yarn weights, so you can use whatever you have in your stash to make a great hat!
They will be uploaded as FREE PDF's for everyone, so that you can help your local cancer center or DEHH. Please consider donating to DEHH if you are using my patterns for your own use.
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.
Week One: Ven
Ven is the Danish word for friend. This model was knit using KnitPicks Comfy Aran weight yarn, which is super soft and washable - both great points for chemo caps! This is a super simple pattern - just knits and purls. The texture the stitches create add some interest and the pattern is suitable for men and women.
