You put your heart into knit or crochet creations using your own pattern or choose from our wide variety of free hat / chemo cap patterns and free NICU blanket patterns.
Then send us your lovingly handmade creations by using the steps outlined below.
Once your creations arrive at Knots of Love, your creations are carefully checked in, inspected, sorted, tagged, placed in pretty bags decorated with a red bow (or with a flag for veterans) boxed, labeled, and shipped to the 580+ locations across the USA that we serve (
at zero cost to those in need who receive the beanies or blankets!).
Lastly -- we will reach out to tell you exactly where each one of your hats and/or blankets were sent and you will know that your work will be out in the world, spreading love and making a difference!
The process for donating your adult-size beanies and or NICU blankets is simple.
Please follow these 3 steps, and we will take it from there:
Step 1:
Follow all of the Knots of Love Maker Guidelines listed here.
Step 2:
Complete your
Knots of Love Submission Form (PDF) and place the form + your beanies and/or neonatal blankets inside of a package. Please note: The submission form enables us to keep track of the number of beanies and/or blankets you donate and let you know where they're distributed (if you choose to share your contact information on our Knots of Love Submission Form below).
(We recommend (however, not mandatory) placing all your creations in one Eco-Friendly Biodegradable Poly Mailer. Receive a 15% discount when you use promo code: KnotsOfLove
(Please don't place your creations in a recycled box or bag. The previous contents of the receptacle could transfer odors of whatever might have been in the box or bag to your lovingly washed creations.)
