The Crocheted Crying Koala Hat is designed Scheepjes’ Creative Director Simy of Simy’s Studio to contribute to a good cause. Please find the Knitted Crying Koala Hat via this link.

We will be donating 100% of profits to the Zoos Victoria Bushfire Emergency Wildlife Fund which has been established to target funding at wildlife care and recovery into the future.

About the initiative
Our Creative Director Simy has shared some personal words on her blog, including details on a project our team has created for both knitters and crocheters; the #CryingKoala Hat. By purchasing this pattern for a small fee, you too can contribute to this cause. Every little bit adds up.

Wear your hats and share on social media with #CryingKoala to show our support for those doing a tireless job in helping the animal victims of this terrible tragedy.
