Amazing Grace Charity Drive Featured Pattern

The donations for the Amazing Grace Charity Drive are pouring in and I am so blessed to see how crocheters’ are so kind and generous!!!  If you haven’t heard about what we are doing… Click Here for the information on the charity drive and prize package…

This weeks Featured Pattern is a cozy, beautiful free pattern!  The Amazing Grace Snoodie… It is a cowl with an attached hood.  Many of you have already made this pattern,,, And I know it would also be a perfect donation or gift for someone who is suffering or recovering from cancer.

Amazing Grace Snoodie

When I was designing this pattern it was a cold winters day… I was thinking  about The first Winter Sandy had cancer and had lost her hair… It must be very chilly when you are use to having hair not only covering you head… But like many women, Sandy had long thick hair to cover her neck too…  I started off just to make a cowl or infinity scarf, but soon decided to make this Amazing Grace Snoodie with the attached hood for total warmth.  I hope you will love it too~

Weekly Featured Amazing Grace Pattern

The Amazing Grace Prayer Shawl…  This is the 3rd pattern in the Amazing Grace Series and one of the top viewed patterns on my site…  Perfect for covering the shoulders of someone who is suffering or recovering from cancer with warmth and prayers!

Amazing Grace Prayer Shawl

This pattern is near and dear to me… When Sandy was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, I made a Prayer Blanket in this color and a similar pattern. She kept the blanket with her all the time and snuggled in it when she was receiving chemo and having her surgeries…  When I decided to write a new pattern, I decided to make this Amazing Grace Prayer Shawl in pink to honor Breast Cancer Awareness!!    I hope you will make a few to donate and maybe even one for yourself.

There are 10 Amazing Grace Patterns to choose from and more to come very soon!!!

Happy Crocheting!!
