Jimjam, the Fighting Victorious Hooker Hat
Here it is - A project composed of love, hope, and some fancy stitches!

Writing a freeform pattern in a way that (almost) everyone can follow, was quite a challenge, and our Haaksteek sisters who contributed to this project truly deserve a medal! It was such a huge task for such a small hat.

I just wrote to one of the sisters from our Haaksteek team, telling her that next time I come up with something ‘crazy, like this’ she should stop me — because it wasn’t worth all the hard work. She replied, “It was worth it because it came from your heart”… So sweet!

Initially, the hat was designed for Mirjam especially. But over time, it has become a symbol of hope, love and comfort for cancer patients and anyone who is in need of a warm hug.

By purchasing a crochet kit from Doris van der Waals from Haakhuis.nl or by simply making a donation, you can offer support to Miranda Zechner-Deens from Hartenkussen.nl.

The whole story behind this, the Jimjam pattern and all further information like the how-to of sewing and adding the lining are available in five languages (English US terms, English UK terms, Dutch, German and Spanish) at https://haaksteek.nl/en/patterns/jimjam/pattern-files/.
Of course, on the website you’ll also find a link to the video playlist for Jimjam. Yes, Tania Leis needed no less than three videos to show everything!
