Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! The Dallas Stand Down is now only a little over two weeks away! We’re going to need more hats, scarves, and gaiters to meet the needs of our homeless veterans and their dependents at this event. Please send in your donations as soon as possible! If you are in the DFW area, you can also contact us to schedule a donation pick up. If you’re a crocheter and you need some inspiration on what pattern to use to craft your donation, here are some suggestions to get you crocheting:
If you’re interested in crafting a simple, elegant, and dependable crochet hat, Lion Brand’s Easy Crochet Hat is a perfect pattern for your next project.
Red Heart’s Wavy Ridge Super Scarf is easier to crochet than it initially appears, weaving up quickly and looking good in any yarn colors. If you need a scarf pattern that is sure to please our veterans and their dependents, the Wavy Ridge Super Scarf is a time-tested hit at all of the previous Stand Downs that we’ve served for years!
Gaiters are a great way to craft a warm garment that warms like a scarf, but uses much less material and weaves up faster than most other options. T.H.R.I.V.E. Association’s own Worsted Weight Crochet Gaiter is a great gaiter pattern that is both solid and quick to complete. It folds in half as a double-layered neck warmer, or can be unfolded to cover the mouth and lower face for additional coverage and protection from the elements.
