Get Some Great Free Patterns for Charity Knitting

July 3, by Sarah White. 17 Comments

helping hands ebookKnit Picks has released a great little ebook for charity knitting (and crochet) that includes six projects for each craft that are perfect to make and donate to the charity of your choice. The Helping Hands ebook is a free PDF download and includes the following knitting patterns:

  • Calming baby knit hat
  • Comfort knit pet blanket
  • Kitty-corner knit square
  • Rainbow knit blankie
  • PICC armband (to cover the line coming out of the arm)
  • Benefaction knit hat

I think my favorite is the rainbow blankie, a pretty chevron pattern sure to bring comfort to whoever needs it.

The patterns are considered appropriate for intermediate knitters and all are designed by Stacey Winklepleck.

Do you knit for charity? I’d love to hear what you make and where you give it.

Did you know, specific to knitters, you can join our Knitting Patterns Only group to get knitting patterns, ask questions and gain inspiration for what to knit next. Or how about our VIP Knitting Group with Free knitting pattern access including vintage and Etsy designer patterns for less than $1 a month.

    She’s been sending knit items and cool-ties to sailors and ground troops since 2001, and is about 500 items away from reaching a total of 600,000 items sent!

    I knit hats for a couple of the local hospitals. Mostly newborn size, and small child size. When I finish up the ones on my needles, I’ll be bringing in the bag of 100 next week. That’ll bring the total up to 400. Surprisingly, I still have yarn left, lol.

    30 of us charity knit every Monday. Our local YMCA is kind enough to set up tables in their lovely atrium. All yarn is donated. We donated over 1,100 items in 2016. Items stay in our community. We donate to three wonderful “charities- our local NEAR food shelf, a very large church, and the Y. We knit baby items for the church who provide needy baby showers, hats scarves mittens and earwarmers headbands. The Y distrib to school nurses.we laugh, we bond, we help each other and have formed lasting friendships. We have croheters too and teach anyone who wants to learn. We range from 10 to 90 years old. There is a special place in heaven for charity knitters and cricketers.
