Helping Haiti Hat Pattern

** This pattern was originally released in January 2010. A portion of sales were donated to Doctors Without Borders between January and March 2010.**

With all the struggles in Haiti, it can seem overwhelming to find a way to connect, to give help. Being a knitter, my first thought is always to knit something, but Haiti is a tropical enough country that woolens aren’t needed.

What is needed is a long list of medicines, food, water, and supplies for shelters. But because I’m a knitter, I wanted to come up with a small way to encourage other knitters to give. We knitters are a tremendously generous bunch, so I knew it wouldn’t take much – enter the Helping Haiti Hat Pattern.
