The net proceeds from Knitterati blocks 16-20 will be donated to Knots of Love, a volunteer driven organization that provides knitted and crocheted caps to warm the hearts and heads of those experiencing medical treatment related hair loss. Since Knots of Love’s inception in June 2007, over 330,000 caps have been donated to over 550 treatment centers, infusion centers, hospitals and oncology offices across the USA. All Knots of Love handmade creations are distributed free of charge to hospitals and treatment centers throughout the country -- and most importantly at no cost to the patient receiving the caps.

Cascade Yarns will distribute the net proceeds that it receives (monies received less the fees charged by Ravelry) for purchases of Block 16 through Block 20 to Knots of Love. We encourage you to also make your donation directly to Knots of Love: https://knotsoflove.givingfuel.com/donations

Unlike previous years there will be no coupon codes to get the patterns free on Ravelry. If you would like the patterns FREE, you will need to sign up for the Cascade Yarns newsletter. We will be distributing the FREE patterns directly to our newsletter subscribers. Get the patterns for the 2019 Knitterati Diagonal Afghan project for FREE.
