Hat BINGO for Clinica

Hello knitters,

Clinica needs more hats! Our contact there told us that they handed out the last batch of hats we gave her in a matter of hours! So we need to make some more hats. To make this a fun challenge, I thought we could try a game of Hat BINGO. 

Click here for your card: GET A BINGO CARD

You'll see 24 squares, each with a pattern name, and one free space in the middle. To get a bingo, knit 5 hats - all the patterns in a row (across, down, or diagonal). If you use the free space, you still need to knit 5 hats, but one can be any pattern you like - on the card, a duplicate, or some other pattern or improvisation you like. Snap a photo of your 5 hats for proof of your bingo - there will be prizes! 

I've included a few patterns we've shared on the website, and the rest are all free patterns on Ravelry. Many of them are adult size, but you can usually size down for a kid's hat (leave a comment if you need guidance on sizing a pattern down). Or just make an adult size - Clinica can use those too! Most of these are simple patterns, and a few are a little more challenging, with simple cables or stranded colorwork.

The above link randomly generates a card, so if you don't like your card, just click the link again until you get one you like. 

Here are the links to all the hat patterns. They are all free! They all use worsted weight yarn and approximately a US 7 needle (you can probably go up to 8 or down to 6 in most cases). If you have trouble accessing any of these patterns, leave me a comment here. 

Have fun with this! Let's see what we can do. I can't wait to see all your beautiful hats.

Note: If you don't have time to knit 5 hats, do not worry! All of your knitted contributions are appreciated, and we all have seasons of prolific knitting and drier spells. You are a valued member of this group regardless of your output. Feel free to use this list as a resource/inspiration/future planning if you don't want to play Hat BINGO.

    I’m currently making hats for the Bingo, but I have a question:
    I’m currently in San Carlos, Mexico and can’t go out to purchase yarn. Can I make the Twistmas pattern with worsted weight yarn?

    Thanks,
    Nita

      Yes, worsted should work for that pattern. Thank you!

March meeting canceled / Ways to connect

Hi everyone, After careful consideration, we decided to cancel our March meeting (next week). Many people in our group are at higher risk (over 60, other health issues), and we don't want to put anyone in danger. We are following the lead of schools, public buildings, churches, workplaces, and other gatherings in social distancing. This will give our healthcare workers their best chance to fight the Coronavirus and reduce its impact. We will reschedule our bears meeting, possibly in April, depending on how the situation is shaping up. But for now, let's find other ways to continue our sense of community and connectedness. I'm exploring several things but first I thought I'd share with you a few free hat patterns that you can try. I will give links, but if you can't access them for some reason, just leave a comment below, and I will connect with you to get you either a printable PDF or if need be, I can print and mail you a copy. In addition - let's use the...

16 hats, 4 bears, 4 mittens, and 1 neck warmer

Hi everyone! Here is a very inspiring update from Twyla. Thanks to Linda for this incredible donation of her time and talent! From Twyla: Linda Leach has been knitting away despite the temporarily suspended Boulder Community Knitting meetings😊 So, in addition to the masks we've been giving them, today they will also pick up Linda's latest batch of beautiful hats, mittens and bears (and a rogue neck warmer that found its way into the bag lol). When she came over to show me what she'd made, I thought she'd never get to the bottom of the bag, as she removed item after beautiful item! A photo shoot ensued and I thought you might like to share some pics with the group. Clinica Campesina will be picking these up today, along with some masks. They are serving a larger population as other medical facilities are closed and they are taking the overflow of additional patients. I'm sure Linda's items will be much appreciated. Can't wait to see everyone pos...
