I finished this little baby hat a couple of weeks ago for a friend's baby. It's my standard roll-brim hat pattern that I love to use from my "Knitting for Peace" book. With the holiday season coming up I've decided it would be nice to knit a project for a charity. In the "Knitting for Peace" book, all of the patterns are designed for using to donate to various organizations and non-profits. I thought it would be nice to knit a hat for the Afghans for Afghans organization. I am making a two-toned spiral-shaped winter cap with wool yarn. Olivia might make a pair of socks as well for the organization. If I have time (yeah, right) I might try to make a pair of kids socks too, but I've got a million holiday projects and crafts on my mind right now, so it might just be the hat.
If you are a knitter and looking to make something as a donation, you should check out the Afghans for Afghans website, or check out a copy of the book "Knitting for Peace."

I've heard of both the book and the organization - love the idea of knitting for charity!
Love it & great color. It looks very soft with the rolled brim.
