There used to be a crochet pattern but the truth is that the crochet hats have been very unpopular -- they are, because of the nature of crochet, much bulkier and less flexible than the knit hats. The knit hats are smaller and can fit almost any size head. They can also be worn under a helmet. So we're asking people to make only knit hats please.

Of course, all good things must come to an end, but your project has given me a way to stay connected to Israel and protect our wonderful IDF soldiers. I have one last batch of 7 hats made which a dear friend will take back to Israel and mail for me in a couple of weeks. I hope it's not too late. I will miss our communications and there will definitely be a void in my life not working on the hats each evening while I watch TV with my hubby. I wish you all the best in this next chapter of your life. You have been a real "tzedayket" taking on and growing this project. If someone else takes this on, please have them get in touch with me. ordinbatya@gmail.com Wishing you all the best!<br />Love,<br />Batya OrdinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583599723074071743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380354492983547840.post-25087268334293420272021-12-21T17:55:50.609+02:002021-12-21T17:55:50.609+02:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.missyscarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02143717878863346329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380354492983547840.post-52156950125764019402021-05-11T04:39:30.932+03:002021-05-11T04:39:30.932+03:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972641627489772054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380354492983547840.post-65723037457511751222020-09-22T12:26:37.899+03:002020-09-22T12:26:37.899+03:00yes, please!yes, please!CHANNAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359872399023865908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380354492983547840.post-1217772060411982262020-09-22T07:51:48.374+03:002020-09-22T07:51:48.374+03:00Shana Tova!
