The Little Nugget Beanie is a crochet pattern I designed especially for Preemie Babies. The Beanies can be donated to your local hospital’s NICU, to the families who have preemie babies, or any charity that needs beanies because the Little Nugget Beanie crochet pattern can be customized for any size found in the Gauge below.
October is Cancer Awareness Month. I wanted to share this beanie and bring awareness to Cancer because we recently lost our young niece who fought braving and never lost her love for life. I have also have had family members who have had cancer in one form or another. The Little Nugget Beanie is a pattern that can be customized for small babies to young toddlers. This beanie can also be donated to Cancer Patients, Cancer Wards at your local hospital or donating to any local charity.

The Summer of Love Tank Top Crochet Pattern is another design I created in recognition of Cancer Awareness Month and the women in my family who were diagnosed with one form of Cancer or another. I am glad to say they all are cancer FREE right now. I am so proud of them and their survival, so I decided to design another crochet pattern called the Summer of Love Tank Top!

As a Scoliosis Survivor, I know some of the struggles cancer patients go through. I deal with chronic pain, anxiety, depression and more. Cancer patients may go through these things as well. Surviving Scoliosis is an ongoing battle, that is why I am so thankful the women in my family battled cancer and survived!
The Wrapped in Love Headband uses the same technique found in the Wrapped in Love Hat and Cowl set crochet patterns that can be found on my website here. There are a number of Video Tutorials from my YouTube Channel here that do Row by Row with you. If you would like to receive the FREE PDF version of this pattern you can find it at any of my stores listed below.
