Paws for a Cause Hat

**Paws for a Cause Hat - A Tribute to Our Furry Friends** Introducing the “Paws for a Cause” Hat, a beautifully designed knit hat crafted in the round using worsted weight yarn. This tall, four-corner hat is not only a stylish accessory but also a heartfelt tribute to the incredible bond we share with our beloved pets. Every dog has a story, and for me, that story revolves around Kesh, my cherished German Shepherd named after an Irish jig. She was a remarkable companion capable of opening doorknobs with her paws, though she was terrified of thunderstorms. Kesh had a knack for taking socks off your feet and even faced a porcupine without a hint of fear, despite the consequences. Her elegance shone brightly, even after a sudden illness took her away from us too soon. The void she left is profound—my family and I miss her dearly, and our other dog hasn’t been the same since her passing. This hat is dedicated to Kesh and all the beloved animals that have left paw prints on our hearts. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who purchased this pattern during the one-year donation period—thanks to your support, we’ve made contributions to Tufts Veterinary Hospital and Kiva, helping animals and fostering small businesses around the globe.
