I took up knitting last year and amassed a collection of brightly coloured handmade hats, I've also recently been dabbling with weaving, and added scarves to the collection.

I can't really wear more than one hat and rather than give them away to friends I thought it was better to use them to raise money for a very worthwhile cause.

Donations to this page can be made in return for hats and scarves to keep you warm that you can see at patternandyarn.com or you can just make a donation in return for warm feelings.
