Introducing Vennlighet!

 Somehow we are already almost halfway through 2026.  Life is busy and hats are coming in and shipping out every week!  I've got a few patterns to share and I'm working on more.

This is Vennlighet - which is the Norwegian word for Kindness.  The model was designed and knit using KnitPicks Comfy Aran yarn, which is a favorite of mine.  I've also knit it in Mill House Super Bulky yarn and Clean Cotton worsted weight yarn by Universal.  The pattern really works with everything!  

You can easily customize this design by working it in only one color, working the brim for the entire hat instead of switching to stockinette stitch or using any variety of colors.  Think team colors or school colors or just favorite colors.  This pattern can work for everyone!

This will be a FREE PDF 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.  It's time to order bags and tags again and shipping costs only go up.  

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.

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 a FREE PDF for everyone, so that you can help your local cancer center or DEHH.
