❤️ Our mission is to serve Christ Jesus by providing love and warmth to others. We do this by making and distributing free, premium, hand-knit and crochet beanies (chemo caps) to people with a cancer diagnosis and tiny NICU blankets to preemie babies in neonatal ICUs.
❤️ All beanies & blankets are made by hand and given to recipients 100% FREE of charge.
❤️ By His Grace and the kindness of many, we've provided over 695,058 lovingly handmade creations -- touching over 4 million lives -- since 2007. All credit and Glory goes to God!
❤️ For the privacy of the wearer, beanies and blankets have no Knots of Love branding after their "not for sale" and informational tags are removed by recipients.
❤️ Our daywear beanies provide style, warmth, and dignity during traumatic hair loss from cancer treatment. Our special sleep caps are worn by patients during the night and naps, to provide warmth and critical relief from hyper-sensitive skin being triggered by even the smallest movement of air over a newly exposed scalp, interrupting much needed sleep.
❤️ The impact is felt deep -- beyond the physical warmth of a hat or blanket -- the most important thing we are blessed to facilitate is: the delivery of love and hope. We see this in the thank you notes and letters from recipients of our hats (chemo caps / beanies) and NICU blankets... who so often tell us how their hearts are warmed and they are inspired because someone they've never met gave their time and love in a selfless act of loving-kindness, at a time when they needed it most. If we are doing our job right, serving The Lord our God by serving others, then that love and hope they feel is God's timing and His love.
❤️ Our community of thousands of dedicated, loving, and compassionate makers and volunteers donate their time, talent, and yarn by hand-making beanies and blankets through the art of knit and crochet.
