Advice
- I cannot read crochet directions so I designed a hat that if fail proof..
- you can start at the bottom or top of this hat and it still come out with a very nice finished product that hopefully is very enjoyable to wear.
- I always ask myself with each hat..would I wear this hat? For the ladies
- I try to add a colorful required wool with perhaps a crochet flower or design that would.. if one was not feeling well be a fun hat to put on. +
- When you crochet for charity..must use the required yarn from their list..and leave extra budget $$ to mail these hats to the organization.
Have Your Experiences All Been Positive?
The Knots of Love website speaks volumes: from the wonderful thank you
from the patients and the cheering of the Master of this organization
is a win win for everyone who is receiving and giving.
Christina will even call during the week to say she received the
caps and where they are going
Are There Any Pitfalls to Be Aware of?

Learn to use the coupons from the various stores that keeps the
cost of making these hats relatively low.
