Donation note:
Use ONLY acrylic, medium weight yarn as Save The Children has requested. The circumference for the cap is 12” because a newborn’s head is smaller in 3rd world countries than in the developed world. Use happy, bright colors. You can certainly use more than one color for each cap you make.

Send caps through February 28, 2011. After that feel free to make hats and donate to local hospitals or charities.

Size: 12” circumference

Medium-weight yarn, 1 oz

Crochet hook size H (5mm)

Gauge: 7 dc = 2”
