I reached out to Halfknits earlier writing this postal service and Kat mentioned that Halfknits often works organizations on the Pino Ridge Reservation.  I was excited to hear this considering, every bit my regular readers know, I have been shipping at least one box of winter accessories and/or baby blankets to organizations supported by the Friends of Pine Ridge Reservation for the by six years. This year, Halfknits is making hats, shawls, and blankets to send to the My Space Youth Eye.

Right nearly now, you may be asking yourself: What about today's design?

I wanted to make a simple hat project that could be made quickly in case y'all are in the mood to donate lots of hats to this bulldoze. Information technology uses the corner-to-corner (C2C) sew together, also known as the diagonal box stitch. I've included a video tutorial that shows the basics of C2C at the end of this mail. I used Bernat Softee Baby Colors because it'due south super cute and soft, but also considering projects made with light weight yarns are much easier to parcel for shipping. Since the actress large pom poms utilize then much yarn, I too wanted to use a thinner yarn because you typically go more yardage in a skein than you would with medium weight yarn.

Yous tin can utilize unlike color yarn to make the hat more than appropriate for boys and girls of dissimilar ages, or teens, and the pom poms are optional (just fun).
