Little Hats Big Hearts Knitting/Crochet Event
One of our members is involved in the Little Hats Big Hearts Knit/Crochet Event happening in Spicer, MN on Saturday, April 14th and would like to invite any interested Guild members.
The American Heart Association’s Little Hats Big Hearts Campaign honors babies, moms, and heart healthy lives in a very special way. Supporters are knitting and crocheting red hats to be given out to thousands of babies during American Heart Month in order to empower moms to live heart healthy lives and to help their children do the same.
The Little Hats Big Hearts Campaign is working to raise awareness, provide resources and inspire moms to take their family’s heart health to heart while also raising awareness about Congenital Heart Defects.
Everyone is welcome to join us for all or part of the event. Anton Thissen will be sharing tips and techniques with us.
Registration Fee includes lunch, yarn, patterns and surprises.
Prizes will be awarded to the first hat, and the most hats.
They will be using a medium/worsted weight yarn. Here is a link to patterns provided by the American Heart Association - however you can use any infant or preemie hat pattern you like.
You can register here.
