Here are the (37) hats I knitted throughout 2023 to be given to the residents of one of the low-income assisted living facilities in my neighborhood. I usually complete approximately 50 in a year’s time, but I had a few time consuming projects that took away from these.
Patterns used were:(one of these is no longer available, but I have hard copies that I can scan and send to you if you need it)

These look so warm and cozy! You’ve made a great selection of colors so people can find a hat that suits their tastes, too.

@TheMistressT All the yarn came from stash. In addition to the random purchases I have made over the years, my MIL gives me her leftovers. I call those hats my “deluxe” scrappies.
@skrutt If I have enough yarn, I always try to include a pompon. I feel like you can’t help but smile when you see one.
@MistressJennie @gozer Thanks so much. Our neighborhood is revitalizing, which is great for some, but also distressing for other older residents who are becoming unable to afford to live here. I just want them to know that they are valued and appreciated.

That’s a great bunch of hats, and a beautiful thing to do for people. I hope it helps keep them warm and to know that somebody cares.

Thanks everyone for all the love towards me and my project. When I dropped them off this morning, the director said that the residents would be very excited to get some new hats. Most of the residents of this particular building walk to one of the local grocery store nearby. I’ll be pleased as punch if I see one or more of them wearing my hats when I’m driving past.

The patterns I use knit up really quick, like just 2 or 3 hours per hat. And I don’t usually have too many other projects going, so I can crank these out when I get going.
