hats2012We need your knitting and crocheting skills to help make these fabulous homemade gifts.

Join fellow knitters and crocheters to make handmade goodies for a great cause! Whether you're experienced or interested in learning, we hope you'll join us at a Handmade for the Homeless!  Our goal is to contribute as many warm winter items as possible to distribute to individuals experiencing homelessness in the DC area.

 

What Should I Bring?

Please bring your own needles/crochet hooks.  All levels of knitters and crocheters are welcome.  Don't know how to knit or crochet? We'll teach you!
 
If you are not already working on a warm winter item and are looking for a great project or just starting out, please bring:
 

  • #8 or #10 knitting needles (circular or straight) or a size H crochet hook
  • at least 6 oz of any color(s) "worsted weight" yarn
  • Patterns (we'll share if you don't have one)
    *Additional hat patterns using #17 needles or a size N crochet hook are also available.

If you have questions about this event check us out on Facebook or please contact Sheryl at sherlinov@gmail.com.

If you can't join us in person, join us in spirit by knitting or crocheting:
Hats
Scarves
Gloves and Mittens
Socks or slippers
Other items to keep people warm and toasty in the cold winter months

Knitted and other donations can be brought to the DC JCC. Contact Sonya at sonyaw@washingtondcjcc.org to make arrangements. Thank you!
