DIY Bulky Crochet Beanies to Make and Donate

various bulky weight hats in blues

This week, I’m introducing crochet beanie patterns that to work up in bulky weight (5 or 6) yarn that would make great donations to the charity of your choice. I previously mentioned that I’ve participated in the Hat Not Hate event as well as the Crochet Cancer Challenge. There are countless other events and organizations to become involved in and to donate to. A quick Google search will help you determine the best match for donations in your area. These bulky crochet beanies would make great donations to any cause!

Now, here are the other Round Up Posts leading up to a new hat pattern release from Bliss This!

I love hooking up bulky weight hats for several reasons: they work up SO quickly, they take a relatively small amount of yarn, they have great texture, and they are WARM! I hope you can find some great patterns in this week’s round up. Don’t forget to scroll as many designers have included coupon codes that will be good through the 10th of July. In addition, several of these patterns are available for free! ENJOY!
