*USE ANY YARN - please see appendix for how to work out gauge and sizing*

Fundraiser I wanted to design a quick knit, cosy hat to help fund Childline/NSPCC, because they are always there for vulnerable children of all types. I’ve chosen a double stranded, washable and affordable, double-knit yarn for this super easy hat, to give a “super chunky” gauge. You could use any yarn you like if it meets the gauge. The hat has a simple contrasting stitch heart on the front and back.

I was inspired to design this warm winter hat by all the people and organisations who care for children when they need it. I wanted to design a quick knit, cosy hat to help fund Childline/NSPCC, because they are always there for vulnerable children of all types. They listen without judgement. They provide a safe space for children to talk things through. I’ve chosen a double stranded, washable and affordable, double-knit yarn for this super easy hat, to give a “super chunky” gauge. You could use any yarn you like if it meets the gauge. The hat has a simple contrasting stitch heart on the front and back.

The hat is knitted flat and visibly seamed, with one heart on the seam. The hat is designed to wordlessly communicate a “bad hair day”. Some people don’t like to talk about their feelings or just can’t express their emotions. If you feel a bit like you need some kindness you can communicate that by wearing the seam at the front.

This hat is a quick knit, with options for beginners. It isn’t designed to be perfect - because life and people aren’t perfect. It is sized from baby to baby boomer (large adult) – why not make one for the whole gang? It would look awesome in a ‘team’ photo in a range of colours.

The hat is visibly seamed, with one heart on the seam. The hat is designed to wordlessly communicate a “bad hair day”. Some people don’t like to talk about their feelings or just can’t express their emotions. If you feel a bit like you need some kindness you can communicate that by wearing the seam at the front. You can knit it seamlessly if you prefer and only include one heart. Your hat your choice!!
