I needed to take a break tonight from my other project, so I thought I’d try my hand at making some of these newborn knot caps. The pattern is offered by Amanda Soule as part of her new website devoted to crafting for goodwill. This particular effort is in connection with Konbit Sante, who will be distributing Safe Birthing Kits in Haiti.
Having never sewn on a stretchy material before, I was a little nervous about using a regular machine rather than a serger (which I don’t have). All that worrying for nothing…these were so stinkin’ simple to assemble I could easily make a whole army of them. Plus, thinking about the babies whose tiny little heads might be warmed by these caps just made making the hats that much more fun. At this point, I’m thinking my only limit will be the number of shirts that I can scrounge up (aside from the whole reality of time constraints).
Those look great - such a wonderful cause!
I love this! Crafting for others is wonderful and so rewarding. What a fabulous cause.
those are adorable! i wish i was better at sewing b/c it would be so sweet to hand stitch a little name or verse or something along the bottom as a baby gift!
What a great idea. You must be a “giver”. Stinkin’ simple for you … not me! You never cease to amaze me with your creative ideas. This one is even better, because it will be a gift for a lot of babies.
Will you adopt me? You are just too dang cool for words!
You’re awesome. They’re adorable! Now, PLEASE tell my you have some unique, adorable craft ideas for Christmas?!?
