hats2012Come crochet or knit warm winter items for those in need in the DC area.

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 the DCJCC for an evening of knitting and crocheting.  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 and we will supply the yarn.  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
  • 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 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 during the cold winter months

Knitted and other donations can be dropped off at the DCJCC. Contact Sonya at sonyaw@washingtondcjcc.org to make arrangements. Thank you!
