Hats for the shelter

[katyallen815]

Hi, thanks for looking in! These are some hats I made late December, when I heard on the news that our local homeless shelter put out a desperately needed list, of hats,and mittens and scarves and gloves! Our cold snap is in full swing,and this Saturday is my donation day for these and whatever else I can get done by then! thanks for looking, these may look bigger than the others I posted, under Completed Projects in 2012 thread, but these are for the men!

Have you tried the UBW hat (ugly but warm) by Dot Matthews? http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=108013 here on the 'ville. Adding FP/BPDC can really make a hat nice and stretchy too!

Now I have to get my looms out..well more like find where I've put them. I keep thinking I need to get them out. Your hats are really nice!!
