Giving Projects

Each season we select a pattern by a featured designer for our Giving Project. We also choose a nonprofit organization to benefit from the project. When you buy yarn to make the featured pattern, we donate a portion of the proceeds to this nonprofit.

Our Winter 2025 featured designer, Ana-Maria, designs crochet patterns with captivating texture and colorwork. Her eyecatching Scorpio Beanie, featuring a reversible colorwork pattern, is our selection for this season's Giving Project. Turn this beanie inside-out to reveal a different colorwork motif -- It's like two hats in one! The pattern comes with step-by-step instructions and tutorial photos to walk you through the interlocking stitches.

We have chosen Sparrow's Nest to be the beneficiary of our Winter Giving Project. Sparrow's Nest is a nonprofit dedicated to delivering homecooked meals to Hudson Valley families facing a cancer diagnosis. Now through the end of March 2025, your purchase of yarn to crochet this eyecatching beanie by Ana-Maria will help Sparrow's Nest in its mission.

Some great DK-weight yarn choices for your Scorpio Beanie include: Kelbourne Woolens Scout, Feederbrook Farm BFL Solid, Hudson Highlands DK, ITO So Kosho, The Fibre Co. Luma, Wonderland Yarns Alice DK, and Madelinetosh Farm Twist.
