What do we need
PatPat's Hats accepts WASHABLE hats for children of all ages. We accept Preemie to teen sized hats. If you are purchasing hats, the hats have to be new.
If you are looking for patterns, we have a bunch on our Pinterest boards.

Once your hats are completed, you can mail them to:

Do we need anything other than hats?
1. Zip Lock Bags (quart and gallon size)
2. Gift certificates to Walmart, Ocean State Job Lot, or Target (we frequently need bins for storing hats, or we can purchase new bins)
3. Gift certificates to Michaels or AC Moore (we have a number of people that would like to make hats, but they do not have the resources to purchase their own yarn. AC Moore and Michaels have great deals on yarn and supplies)
4. If you would like to sponsor a donation to a specific organization, please reach out to Aunt Betsy directly. Our biggest expense is likely shipping of hats to specific organizations. Sometimes, it can cost about $50. If we have someone that would sponsor a donation, it would be incredible.
If you are considering sending us funds, please reach out to Aunt Betsy directly. As we do not have a bank account, we cannot accept checks made out to PatPat's Hats.
We are so blessed with what we have been given. We have been given all of you, people that can help us spread warmth to children in need.
When I first started collecting hats in 2011, I would never have believed that I would still be doing this in 2014. I wouldn't change it for the world.
