In the last year I have been inspired to knit for charity and one of the causes that has come to my attention is Hat Not Hate, an anti-bullying campaign launched by Lion Brand Yarns in 2018. Lion Brand asks knitters to donate blue knit (and crochet) hats and teams up with schools around the country to distribute hats to students in October of each year for National Bullying Prevention Month.

Though the deadline for 2019 donations has passed, I was inspired to create a simple hat pattern in honor of Hat Not Hate!
