Knit 4 Lent
4,000 Hats in 40 Days
Please consider our knitting project as part of your Lenten Discipline.
Please help us gather 4,000 of the VERY popular hand-knit or crocheted hats for mariners working in the Gulf Coast of the United States.
These hats will be given as Christmas gifts, along with other items as part of the 2008 Christmas on the River Program.
Spread the word to your knitting and crocheting friends and help SCI raise 4,000 hats!
Finished items should be sent by March 30th to:
The Seamen’s Church Institute
241 Water Street
NY, NY 10038
Attn: Jeanette DeVita
Great to see that other patterns can be used instead of just the CAS website pattern. I joined the Ravelry group.

There is a pattern for a crochet scarf in the free patterns section. There will be a crochet cap pattern published in our upcoming newsletter, at the latest.
Thanks!

I am trying to find the pattern for the knit caps.
Please put on line and I will be happy to send you some. Need different sizes in the pattern. Thanks.

What a lovely idea - and much more satisfying than giving up knitting for Lent. A friend of mine did that - I am just trying to not buy yarn. Good Luck.

Wow - closing in on Good Friday and feeling so good about knitting for others during this Lenten Season. I’ve mailed off a box of hats today, including several from other good souls who volunteered to help. I look forward to more opportunities like Knit 4 Lent. Thanks!
