Let's Crochet for Charity

This weekend I thought I would do something good by crocheting, hopefully giving a little help to less fortunates putting together yarns, hook and my hands....


I looked on the internet for charities that need help from crocheters and knitters and I run into Kofia, a charity which, as the website says, is "asking people to make baby hats for a remote community in Berega, Tanzania. A simple act which will save the lives of malnourished and premature babies - just by keeping them warm."

I thought it was a lovely idea....and I thought that by spreading the word among my crocheter friends we could really make a positive difference and help these babies.


Here is the baby warm hat I made today.



I started from the pattern of Adventures in Crochet, added a couple more rounds of dc and decided to add a pom pom with a some green to make it more colorful.


I hope you like the idea and join with some crochet hats to help babies in Tanzania.

Wishing you a lovely weekend

A laid back crochet hat...

Here I am...finally back on my blog...

The project I would like to share with you today is a crochet hat...I made it as a present for my husband earlier this winter.



At the time he was living in New York while I was living in London...so I thought it to be a sweet idea to give him a handmade present that would accompany him during the cold winter time!!!

The pattern I used has been designed by swellamy...and you can find it here

As suggested in the pattern, I worked on two yarns at the same time...and this gave it a thicker and warmer look!

The style of this hat was pretty laid back...and I believe it must have been the key to make my husband wear it quite often....


I would say he is a bit picky when it comes to clothes and accessories to wear .... That's why it made me so happy to see that he did like and wear it a lot!!

Hope you like it too as I think it could be a nice and easy to make present for the winter coming!

Wishing you all a lovely Sunday
