This badge began as a tiny act of solidarity—a quick and fierce little gesture meant to be shared freely.

Whether you choose the flat version or this 3D one, this is a small symbol with a big purpose.

Both remain free because the point is participation. If you’re knitting one, you’re part of the reinforcements. Knit one, share one, pass it on!

There are several versions of the “Melt the ICE” hat on Ravelry. I suggest you check them out and make one! But if you’re not a hat person, this little Melt the ICE Badge is for you.

This project is perfect for using up yarn scraps -about 15 yards are required. Use whatever needles match your yarn and your preferred tension. It’s a gauge-agnostic pattern!

Viva la … whatever this is we’re doing together!
