Joyce;
Is this the same, thick yarn we made our first hat from?
Going to the store, tonight, to look for the loom.  Maybe I can get the knitting items.

We are all set for our Summer Project to make Helmet Liners for  our military folks.  I have the pattern for this to be knitted or  crocheted.  We have a class planned kicking off June 4 for the knitted  version of this hat and I will plan a crochet and repeat of the knitted version  after I return from Convention in Dallas.  It will be towards the end of  July.

I just want to let you know that we have found a organized group that will allow us to send the hats directly to our service men.

Supplies needed:

1 ball worstered weight Cascade 220 100% wool yarn  220 yards Colors  that can be used are: Black, Charcoal, Brown,Tan,Army Green, Navy.
* It must be 100% wool either wash by hand or wash in machine type.   Can 
not have any synthetic or man made material in it.

16 inche Size 6 circular needle

16 inche Size 8 circular needle
Size 8 double pointed set of 5 needles
4 stitch  markers [rubber bands are good] yarn needle and scissors

Cascade 220 is a soft wool yarn and you can make 6 hats from 5 skeins. each  is 220 yards.

The hats that I will teach in June has a neck band and an opening for the face.  I will give you some alternatives at the last class for the  pattern.

Joyce
