It’s a win-win-win!
Compassion. Creativity. Competition.
A competition for knitters and crocheters to win some prizes and give to a great cause! Teams (including individual teams) will commit to one month of making toques, mitts, and scarves that will be donated to inner-city schools and shelters.
This year we will have prizes for the top:
The registration donation gets you a tax receipt, multiple patterns, 4 starter balls of yarn, and a discount card for purchasing more yarn throughout January!
All levels of knitters and crocheters are welcome here! We will include 4 toque patterns in your registration package: circular knit, flat knit, circular crochet, and flat crochet; 2 mitten patterns; and leaving the scarf pattern up to you with an approximate length of 60″.
You are welcome to sign up as an individual or as a team of up to 4 people. Whether you choose to join on your own or with others we encourage you to get crafty with your “team” name, it’s part of the fun!
