Charity Knitting
Close Knit Charity Tree 2013In November 2013 we will create and display a tree of donated hand knit hats and mittens in the center hall of St. Joseph's hospital. All items will be given to children and families involved with the foster care system and homeless in Paterson.
Here are the rules:
- Beginning January 2nd, donate handmade GREEN or BLUE HATS OR MITTENS
(child or adult) each month until November.
- For every HAT or PAIR OF MITTENS donated in shades of green or blue, you will be entered into a drawing for a yet-to-be-deteremined prize (prizes will change each month.)
- At the end of the year, the eleven winners will receive one discount sale day,
in addition to the prizes they have won throughout the year.
- The more items you donate, the more chances you'll have to win.
- Items must be SOFT! You do not have to use yarn from Close Knit, but please, choose yarn that is nice to wear (and washable.)
We recommend: Vintage, Vintage Chunky, Comfort, Comfort Chunky,
or Cascade 220 Superwash.
- You may embellish any way you like. The free CK patterns we recommend are the Warf Cap and Two Needle Mittens.

To all who have donated: THANK YOU!
We are now donating our hats to St. Joseph's Hospital in Paterson.
This collection is ongoing! The FREE knit and crochet patterns are basic (perfect for
beginners) and use only small amounts of time and yarn. Yarn and pattern do not have to
originate from Close Knit, but please make sure hats are SOFT and SMALL
(small enough to fit a tangerine.)
Donate FIVE (5) knitted or crocheted hats and receive a 15% OFF ENTIRE PURCHASE coupon.
Free patterns are available in the store, at www.ravelry.com, and below.
(Please, do not use wool for baby patterns).
