Our mission at Knots of Love is to warm the hearts and heads of those experiencing
traumatic hair loss. Our volunteers lovingly hand-knit and crochet caps for those
struggling with treatment-induced hair loss and tiny Neonatal blankets for fragile
new lives in incubators. Knots of Love caps and blankets serve as a constant reminder
to the patient and their loved ones that they are not alone. All Knots of Love handmade creations are
distributed free of charge to hospitals and treatment centers throughout the
country -- and most importantly at no cost to the patient receiving the caps.
We are a network of passionate and caring volunteers who tirelessly make and ship caps all over the country.

full story here.
Founded in 2007, we donate caps to children, adults, and veterans undergoing
Chemotherapy at over 550 cancer treatment centers across The United States. We also support burn victims, brain surgery patients, head trauma patients, and
individuals with Alopecia. In 2013 we began donating tiny 18” x 24” blankets to fragile new lives in incubators.
We make a difference in the lives of those fighting cancer by providing:
Warmth: Our caps help keep patients warm in the cold treatment rooms and cozy/protected when outside in the elements. When it comes to babies, the little ones often sleep with our Neonatal Intensive Care blankets to transfer their scent
before lovingly placing it over their fragile new life.
Comfort: Chemotherapy drugs cause heads to become tender and heads tend to become sore after a long day of wearing a wig. Our caps provide respite and
comfort, like a cozy pair of slippers or a soft robe. Most importantly, the simple act of a patient receiving a cap made by that someone who they have never met and knowing that someone took hours of their time to make a cap by hand makes patients feel loved and less alone when going through these extremely challenging times. When it comes to babies, our NICU blankets are soft and cozy
against baby, Mom and Dad. Also, they affirm that their baby is snuggled under a
lovingly made blanket.
Dignity: The loss of hair can be traumatic for patients, resulting
embarrassment, and seclusion. Our caps provide a stylish and fashionable way to cover hair loss
while helping to boost self-esteem.
