A Bulky Hat to Spotlight a Cause

The Water is Life Hat, designed by Lavanya Patricella is a basic, bulky ribbed hat you’ll want to wear all winter. But as you might imagine from the name, it’s more than that.

Lavanya is giving away the pattern, but she hopes that people who download and use it will make a donation to support native communities (her suggestions are Honor the Earth and Dig Deep).

The pattern uses size 8 US knitting needles and around 100 yards of bulky yarn, so it’s a perfect quick knit project for yourself or for gift knitting.

You can grab the pattern on Ravelry, as well as find links for donations.
