A bit ago I put out a plea that we try to raise 500 animal hats for Rosie's Cozies. Well, we are not very close to the goal....at all. We currently have about 100 hats, of which only about are animal. I will say that even the ones that aren't animal hats are stinking adorable, so I cannot complain because they are awesome!
I am asking people to step up and even commit to one or two hats if they can! I would love to walk into Helen DeVos Children's Hospital with the goal we had originally and with our mission accomplished. PLEASE consider making even just one hat. Trust me, it will make a difference and put us closer to our goal. Each hat is a blessing to a family, so either way you are touching people's lives and bringing a bright spot to a family that might be scared. You don't HAVE to send 50 hats! I have had many people send me 2 or 3 hats and they are just as exciting to get as the boxes with 20-30 hats in them!
So please join me in reaching out goal! Share the word, tweet about it, Facebook about it, and throw it up on Pinterest. Let's get there together! :-)
Where do I find patterns for the animal hats?

DeleteBetsy, any ideas for knit patterns? I have found a few...but am looking for more!
DeleteI have found this site. Otherwise check on Ravelry maybe. http://craftyarncouncil.com/?q=node/63
DeleteBetsy - would you repost the details of what you need? I missed the original post. I would be glad to make some hats.

Deleteunfortunately, I'm unable to donate any animal hats this go round . . . the next time you have a call for regular hats, I'll have some to send! :)
ReplyDeleteFeel free to send them! I take them all :). We were up just focusing on animals, but I take them all!
DeleteAre there a certain size you need? Earflap or beanie or does it not matter?
ReplyDeleteThey are interested in the 5-6lb size right now but will gladly take anything as they use them all. Earflap and beanie are both fine :-)
DeleteIs there a certain date you want these hats? I'm working on two right now, but I'm not very fast.
