RAOK F*ck Cancer
There are a few causes that I hold dear to my heart. Having numerous very close family members and loved ones directly affected by cancer (including my mum), I like to hope that in some way I can give back to those that helped us. With my love of knitting I have made countless hats and beanies for people undergoing chemotherapy and decided I’d publish one of my favourite patterns so others too can pass on the giving. This pattern I bring you I’ve called RAOK “F*ck Cancer” (Random act of kindness) … Although not Random, because the gifting of this pattern to you is not random at all, it’s a gift I hope can keep giving, and spread so others too can share some love and comfort to those who need it.
