Association family! This month\u2019s Stand Down package to Alaska has left us needing your help! We\u2019re going to need more hats, scarves, and gaiters to meet the demand for the next Stand Down in September. With just one month until then, time is of the essence and our underprivileged veterans and their dependents really need your support! If you need some inspiration on what pattern to use to craft your donation, here are some suggestions to get you knitting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a solid, veteran-approved <strong>hat<\/strong>, the Red Heart Ribbed Knit Beanie is a popular pattern:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-t-h-r-i-v-e-assn wp-block-embed-t-h-r-i-v-e-assn\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"wdxZmVOJwz\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thrivevets.org\/index.php\/2021\/01\/08\/red-heart-ribbed-knit-beanie\/\">Red Heart Ribbed Knit Beanie<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Red Heart Ribbed Knit Beanie&#8221; &#8212; T.H.R.I.V.E.

Many knitters tend to overlook the Garter stitch scarf as a pattern, most likely because it is every knitter\u2019s very first project. But don\u2019t discount just how quick, simple, and effective straight knitting can be! Just make sure to cast on as many stitches as it takes for your scarf to be at least 6 inches wide and ensure that your scarf ends up measuring at least 60 inches in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Garter Stitch Scarf\" width=\"815\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qce_cc39leY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d like to knit a <strong>gaiter<\/strong>, the Essential 1 x 1 Gaiter is a go-to pattern that is both functional and fashionable for our veterans and\/or their dependents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-t-h-r-i-v-e-assn wp-block-embed-t-h-r-i-v-e-assn\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"5WqH8FwF80\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thrivevets.org\/index.php\/2023\/05\/22\/the-essential-1-x-1-gaiter-knit\/\">The Essential 1 x 1 Gaiter (Knit)<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;The Essential 1 x 1 Gaiter (Knit)&#8221; &#8212; T.H.R.I.V.E.
