[NFB-Krafters-Korner] FW: [New post] Soldier hats

Mon Sep 10 19:20:51 UTC 2018

Hi Tammy and everyone, I know that the military can be real sticklers for a 
particular item, my Dad was in the Army, so I know that fact first hand, big 
smile.
I would think that the troops overseas would appreciate anything as long as 
it keeps their heads or bodies safe and warm in a cold climate.
I'll try to nose around a recruiting office and see what they can tell me.

I wonder if they were offered knitted beanies, surely they wouldn’t be 
turned down.
  I bet either would be appreciated but that is the opinion of 1.  Smile!

As for where to get that particular yarn, I assume our usual sources but I 
know what assuming gets me.  Lol!

Take care!
Tammy

I finally found the link, hidden at the bottom.  I got kicked out multiple 
times.  Looks like some useful imfo, for the future.
It’s a shame they only want crocheted hats!
That is just not my cup of tea, yet!

Good opportunity for us to give back to our Soldiers.

Soldier hats
by sandiepetit
A local friend has asked me to put the word out for her. She is collecting 
hats for a troop of soldiers and needs 150 beanie style hats. The military 
requires dark colors - green, blue, black, or brown. Hats also have to be 
100% WOOL. The yarn I've used in the past is Patons Classic Wool in chestnut 
brown, black or deep olive.
These are the measurements for these hats.

I have several patterns at Crochet Cabana that would work but any plain, no 
frills pattern will do. I also have these patterns at Ravelry if you want to 
save them. Although they're written for soldiers (adult men mostly), they 
are simple beanie hats you can use for anyone. Just adjust size to fit. Note 
that they are written for Patons Classic Wool worsted which is a thin 
worsted yarn so if you use a thicker yarn, you'll have to adjust the pattern 
to size.
Special note: Please, when joining yarn, do NOT knot and cut at the knot or 
leave just an inch of yarn. Please cut yarn several inches from the end and 
weave/sew the tails in securely. Also, if you work in a spiral, please make 
sure that your last round is even with the previous round. Thanks!
I don't yet have an address or deadline but in the past the hats were sent 
in November. I will update when I get the deadline and address. In the 
meantime, you can send them to me (message me for the address 
crochetcabana at gmail.com ) and I will forward to Donna Guice, the coordinator 
of this effort. The hats will go to a troop from Louisiana.
Thanks!
Happy Crocheting!
Sandie
