This year we will be knitting Izzy dolls (find patterns on Ravelry) and hats, mittens, gloves, and scarves and shawls, for the women and their children at Mutual Ground, a center in Aurora that houses and serves those who have experienced intimate partner violence.
Also, we will be collecting 6 x 6-inch knit or crocheted squares to be put together into blankets for Project Linus which provides handmade blankets to children 0-18 locally who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. Please make these only out of machine washable and dryable yarns.
Additionally, we also donate hats every year to Knit the Rainbow for unstably housed youth in Chicago. These also must be made of acrylic or machine washable/dryable yarn.
Below are patterns you can use for hats and to make squares for blankets.
