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 the DC area homeless.

 

 

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.
