18 FREE Crochet Charity Patterns

Stitchers have a long history of making items for charity. Warm hats, scarves, mittens, and more are welcome and comforting gifts, and show that someone is thinking of the recipient. And when you want to make something but don’t know who to give it to, a charity is a great choice!

These 18 crochet charity patterns are a mix of items for different purposes. Hats could go to cancer patients, or charities making sure that people are warm in winter. Shawls can be used for prayer shawl ministries. Other items could go to women’s shelters. Make sure you check requirements of the charity before you donate: some may have restrictions on the type of yarn you use or which items they’re currently accepting.

Free Crochet Charity Hat Patterns

These hats work for a variety of situations: cancer patients, NICUs, homeless shelters, women’s shelters, refugees who just moved and don’t have winter clothes, families with growing kids who need some help, or other situations. Adding or removing pompoms is a great way to customize how the hats look as well.
