Introducing Gentilesse

 Well, it's been a few minutes and it's already almost the end of April.  I'm not sure where exactly 2026 is going, but it's getting there quickly.

Delaware Head Huggers is busy bagging, tagging and shipping out hats, as always.  Our goal this year is to reach 5,000 hats and I think we're going to do it!

This pattern and the next few that I am working on will all be named "Kindness", but in different languages, as the past few sets of patterns have been.



This is Gentilesse, the French word for kindness.  This pattern was designed and knit using Universal Yarn's Clean Cotton, a worsted weight yarn.  Of course, the pattern has info for using other yarn weights as well.  

If using heavier yarn, you won't be able to do as many color changes.  If you only have 2 colors of yarn just repeat the link design with your contrasting color.  If you want to use more than 3 colors, go for it.  The possibilities are nearly endless.  Choose your favorite colors and get started!

This will be 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.  Search for Robin Agar-Celli in books and you will find my patterns.

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.
