Free Knitting Pattern: 

Warm Hands Baby Blanket by Sophia Minakais


Break out your yummiest yarn to knit a soft, warm baby blanket to donate to the children of the Warm Hands Network charity, or to cuddle your own baby, with this easy-to-follow pattern.

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 (click here for more details on our blog post).

3 Ways Your Shop Can Participate
1.Create knit or crochet kits which include enough yarn and the correct size of needle or hooks to make the Warm Hands Baby Blanket or the crocheted baby blanket of your choosing.

2. Host a knit night! Whether you opt for a virtual option or have enough space to do a socially-distanced knit night in-store, we hope you can use this event to connect with your customers.

3.Do you have a local organization that needs baby blankets? Make arrangements with them to ensure that the blankets your customers make meet all of their requirements, then volunteer to be a drop-off point for finished blankets. Make sure to take photos of everyone's handiwork before you make the donation!
