There is a long and wonderful history of knitters and crocheters sharing their love with others by using their needles and hooks. Whether you are making preemie or infant hats, child or adult chemo hats, caps for the wounded or injured military, or hats for the homeless and those going through hard times, you’ll find options on these pages. We have put this collection of hat patterns together to help you find patterns that can be made for your current charity.

At the end of this book, we’ve included some of the many worthwhile charities that accept hats and distribute them to those in need.
