amberblissthis Introducing the BLISSFUL BITS BEANIE Crochet Pattern
It’s October! You know what that means! Christine of Sweet Potato 3 hosts the Crochet Cancer Challenge every year. I’m honored to have the opportunity to participate again. This is my 6th year and design. For 2025, I’m representing Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) which my dad is currently living with. Cancer has surely touched all of our lives, and this is a practical and productive way that we can give back!
So, how does the challenge work?
By downloading the patterns each day, you are committing to crocheting at least 1 of each pattern downloaded for donation (you decide who or where you donate to!).
The Blissful Bits Beanie officially releases (and is a free download) on October 2nd.
