For the third year in a row, I’m excited to support the Children’s Miracle Network with a new hat design! If you remember from the past couple of years, I designed a hat pattern in honor of my two youngest girls, who needed a lot of medical help when they were young.
My daughter Haley had multiple foot surgeries to help her with CMT and my daughter Annie had brain surgery to cure her epilepsy.
If you have never heard of the Children’s Miracle Network, it is a foundation that benefits children’s hospitals nationwide. I am so proud and happy to partner with them to help raise funds for children in need. The love and support from children’s hospitals can make a real difference in a crisis.
Here’s how this fundraiser works: when you donate to the Children’s Miracle Network, you’ll receive an email with a link to download the Beautiful Blessings Hat pattern as a printable PDF. The PDF includes full written instructions and a link to the complete YouTube tutorial for extra guidance. It also comes with a size chart so you can make it any size you need.
You also have the option to purchase the other hat patterns from previous years as well. These fundraisers are ongoing and don’t just stop. Overall, we have raised just over $30,000! It’s been exciting to see the amount of donations from all our crochet friends.

I named this year’s hat the Beautiful Blessings Hat because of the generosity the Daisy Farm Crafter community has shown. You all are a beautiful blessing not only to me, but to others. The kindness and encouragement I see every day in our Daisy Farm Crafter group on Facebook makes the world a better place. We are just a small corner of the internet, but it’s such a wonderful corner to be in. This hat pattern also honors you.
The Beautiful Blessings Hat is made with Caron Simply Me, which is a 5-weight yarn. It is thicker than Caron Simply Soft yarn and a bit bouncier, as it is a wool-and-acrylic blend. I used a 5.5mm hook. You can buy Caron Simply Me on Yarnspirations.com. They have lots of beautiful, bold colors to choose from.
If you want to work with Caron Simply Soft, the 4-weight acrylic you can buy online or at Michaels, you might want to look at the first pattern I designed, the Reversible Miracle Hat. It’s pictured below.

The Reversible Miracle hat is worked similarly to the Beautiful Blessings Hat. It is essentially worked as a rectangle, and then sewn together and cinched at the top. If you want more details about this hat before deciding, tap here to read the original blog post I wrote about it.
The following photo is the Hope Hat and Scarf from last year.
For this hat, the brim is made first, joined into a circle, and then you work along the edge of the brim to build the height for the hat. You alternate colors every round to achieve the colorwork. It is all single crochet. Once you make the hat, the scarf will be so easy. Tap here to read the original post about the Hope Hat and scarf for more details.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting the Children’s Miracle Network through your donation.
All my love,

P.S. Every year, we release this campaign on November 15th. That is the day Annie had her surgery that essentially cured her seizures. She has been seizure-free for 14 years! November is also Epilepsy Awareness Month, and we love to support it by wearing purple!
