Association family! The Dallas Stand Down is now only a little over two weeks away! We\u2019re 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\u2019re a crocheter and you need some inspiration on what pattern to use to craft your donation, here are some suggestions to get you crocheting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re interested in crafting a simple, elegant, and dependable crochet hat, Lion Brand\u2019s Easy Crochet Hat is a perfect pattern for your next project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-t-h-r-i-v-e-association wp-block-embed-t-h-r-i-v-e-association\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"CHTCajDL2c\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thrivevets.org\/index.php\/2021\/08\/13\/lion-brand-adults-easy-crochet-hat-upcoming-stand-downs\/\">Lion Brand Adult&#8217;s Easy Crochet Hat &#038; Upcoming Stand Downs<\/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;Lion Brand Adult&#8217;s Easy Crochet Hat &#038; Upcoming Stand Downs&#8221; &#8212; T.H.R.I.V.E.

T.H.R.I.V.E. Association\u2019s 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.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-t-h-r-i-v-e-association wp-block-embed-t-h-r-i-v-e-association\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"6O4rI1DHyu\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thrivevets.org\/index.php\/2023\/04\/17\/the-worsted-weight-crochet-gaiter\/\">The Worsted Weight Crochet Gaiter<\/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 Worsted Weight Crochet Gaiter&#8221; &#8212; T.H.R.I.V.E.
