Broken Seed Stitch Hat

This unique knitting pattern is part of the #youarenotaloneFAST (Fiber Artists Stand Together) initiative, which aims to raise vital funds for organizations that support individuals affected by sexual abuse. From November 1 to November 7, 100% of the proceeds from this pattern will be donated to DOVE, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing essential support for survivors of all types of domestic and sexual abuse in New York City. Following this initial fundraising period, 50% of the proceeds from November 8 to November 23 will continue to benefit this important cause. By purchasing this pattern, you’re not just getting a fun knitting project; you’re contributing to a meaningful movement.

Not only was this pattern developed with a crucial social purpose, but it is also designed to be enjoyable and accessible for knitters of all skill levels! The pattern employs only one color at a time, utilizing simple knit and purl stitches to create a stunning effect of a mesh overlay. The main color beautifully drapes over the contrasting color, resulting in a look that feels intricate yet remains easy enough for beginners to tackle. You’ll love the engaging process of watching this pattern come to life through your own hands.

Yarn selection: For this pattern, we recommend using fingering or sock yarn. You'll need approximately 130 yards of the main color and 60-70 yards of a contrasting color. This design works beautifully with two solid colors, or you can mix it up with one solid and one variegated yarn. To achieve the best visual impact, choose colors that offer a high level of contrast; this will make your project stand out and showcase the lovely texture created by the mesh overlay.

Join us in not just honing your knitting skills but also in making a difference in the lives of survivors. Start your journey with this meaningful pattern today!
