Join us for a Charity Craft-along featuring the Warm Hands Baby Blanket knitting pattern by Sophia Minaikais!
This pattern was designed to support the children of the Warm Hands Network, a Canadian based charity providing clothing to families in the Canadian North. When knitting baby blankets to be donated to the WHN, please be sure to follow their contribution guidelines, to ensure that your gift will be put to good use. Their guidelines ask that all baby blankets be made using wool or other animal fibers, or acrylic. Baby blankets should be at least 35” x 35” and should always be labeled with washing instructions.
You can mail your Warm Hands Network donations to this address:
Warm Hands Network
240 First Avenue
Ottawa, Ontario K1S 2G6
If you have questions about your donation, please contact warmhandsnetwork@gmail.com.
