Take Refuge

**Take Refuge Knitting Pattern - Embrace Comfort and Healing** Introducing the "Take Refuge" hat, a heartfelt design created for the fall Artesanitarium Designs Design Challenge. As someone who has personally experienced the challenges of sexual assault, I felt compelled to create a piece that symbolizes safety and solace for all. This hat serves as a tribute to those who have endured similar experiences and to the supporters who stand by them. During the tumultuous Brett Kavanaugh US Supreme Court confirmation process, I found knitting to be my refuge—a therapeutic outlet that helped maintain my sanity. "Take Refuge" is designed to provide a similar sense of comfort for anyone who wears it. It's more than just a hat; it's a safe haven, inviting wearers to lose themselves in the soothing rhythm of the knitting pattern. I truly believe that when we knit love into each stitch, we can harness the healing power of this craft. The "Take Refuge" hat is designed to fit head circumferences of 18 - 20 inches (45.75 - 51 cm), 19.5 - 21.5 inches (50 - 54.5 cm), and 21 - 23 inches (53 - 58 cm) with a recommended negative ease of 3 - 5 inches (7.5 - 13 cm) for a snug fit. The sample shown is in the medium size, modeled on a 22-inch (56 cm) glass head and a 21.5-inch (54.5 cm) model. This pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a meaningful accessory while embracing the therapeutic benefits of knitting. Join me in crafting a piece that not only warms the head but also uplifts the spirit—knit "Take Refuge" today and turn your passion for knitting into a source of healing and empowerment.
