This is the third year of the Purple Cap Campaign or “Click for Babies“.  This organization was created to raise awareness of Shaken Baby Syndrome.

I have designed a little cap for the campaign and the pattern Purple Kisses is a free download on Ravelry.  This pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters.  It is knit in the round in a spiralling pattern.  The pattern is written for both Double Knitting and Worsted gauges.

If you are more of a beginner knitter the website has links to many free hat patterns.  Take a look and find one you like and knit purple for the babies.  I also have another free pattern on Ravelry – Baby Flap Cap – perfect for chunky purple yarns.

These caps need to be at least 50% purple in colour and we are collecting them at Mad About Ewe.  If you are not in Nanaimo or area – check with the organization to find your local group.

Happy Knitting for a Good Cause!
