HELPING our Armed Forces
Page updated Sept 2022


                   

If you would like to participate in helping our brave armed forces personel, please be sure to make hats large enought to fit a man's head. The ground troops need darker, muted colors, chamo, browns, blacks, grays, navy.  Using a warm, lightweight yarn like 100% wool needs to be used so hats are warm and won't melt in heat (acrylic in yarns melts and can give the troops nasty burns!). The hats can be stuffed into a pocket, or will fit under a helmet.  Slippers of ALL colors-- bright, fun ones too, double yarn, are welcomed with open arms!  Please do NOT double yarn for warmth on hats!  These are too bulky to be worn under helmets. Doubled yarn on Slippers is good though.

VERY IMPORTANT: Bev's Country Cottage is NOT affiliated with any specific troop project, so please check with individual projects for more specific requirements.

Knitting for the Troops

Operation Gratitude 2017


www.soldiersangels.org


Knit Your Bit - (Sept 2022) Making scarves for US Veterans, can be knitted or crocheted with your own patterns, or the ones they list on their website.  Please attach a note for the troop, stating who you are and such.  Great project for church groups etc.

Marine Corps Kids - (Sept 2022)  When babies are born to deployed troops, it's doubly hard for both mom and dad.  This group sends care packages to the families of deployed troops when babies are born. The packages might include a hand-crafted baby afghan, cap or bonnet, booties or toy. With sufficient resources, we'll also be able to include a handmade toy for other kids in the family.




Show support for the troops on your website and in your homes with these graphics!
