my very own pattern

WannaCrochet

I love crocheting hats.  I never use a pattern.  I start out with 12 dc in a magic circle, increasing the rows as 24, 36, 48, and 60.  I crochet very loosely so 60 dc is large enough for children from 6 to 12 and sometimes fits adults with small heads.  Then I start my pattern which I make up as I go along.  I love doing front post doubles and do them a lot.  For example I may do 2 fpd and 2 dc across.  As long as the 2 groups I do total 60 it will work.  Or I may do 3 dc and 2 fpd (which takes up 5 stitches) and it will come out even because you can divide 5 into 60.  I try to make 300 hats a year to give to a local non-profit corporation for distribution to needy children.  It is a fun project to carry with you when you have to wait for instance in a doctors office.  Think about it, you use up your old scraps of yarn and make a worthwhile project to give away.

Sorry about the type.  My iPad thought I needed to say hates instead of hats but I have no idea why.  LOL.  Technology can be a pain sometimes.

What a wonderful thing to do.  My knitting guild has a "baby shower" once a year.  Everything that members make is donated to local hospitals.  We also knit for our veterans.  I bring everything to our local Veterans home.  People think these homes are free, they are not (at least not here).  Most have very little money.  To think they served our country, many injured, and we dont care for them adequately IMHO.  Anyone who knits/crochets for charity should be applauded!  Its just a nice thing to do!
