Please don't forget to play your part in the giving

But JIC you have not started here is a lil pattern that you can use for your donation
I am not listing a specific yarn but I recommend using a nice & soft one because the item may be coming in contact with sensitive skin and depending on the thickness of the yarn just use the listed hook if the yarn is thick use a smaller hook so the hat is not too big.

Good hooking & looking
