Roots Ethiopia partners with communities in Ethiopia to turn local ideas into lasting change. They work together to improve schools, educate children, enable livelihoods, and include everyone. Donating to Roots Ethiopia is just one of the ways I like to “give back”. They help families in the region where I was born and that’s very special to me. Also, if you’d like to help me and my family return to Ethiopia to see the library/science lab I built and to meet the children in my birth village who use those new facilities please consider donating to my GoFundMe. Thank you crochet friends!

Bernat Shockwaves Lap Blanket
This blanket uses that nice, big thick yarn you see in the store that you don’t know what to do with! This “lap” blanket takes 5 balls and weighs over 6 pounds for those who like weighted blankets to help with anxiety. These blankets are easy to make and work up quickly. Get out your big hook!

Crochet Moss Stitch Bias Scarf
It’s a high style super scarf but others may call it a shawl or even a blanket because of its generous size. I used Red Heart Gem Stone yarn but the pattern calls for Bernat Wavelength yarn. Choose the yarn that suits your preference. A chunky 5 weight works best.

Crocheted Chunky Striped Sweater
This sweater is super warm made with wool yarn and might I say quite stylish. It’s easy to make so give it a try!
Crochet Cabled Ribbed Hat
Cables are beautiful in a crochet hat and I love them in this beautiful burgundy color. The cables are slightly challenging so perhaps not a beginner project. If you have some experience, give this hat a try.

Bernat Fleece Super Scarf
This scarf is big and soft! It uses a wonderful yarn called Bernat Forever Fleece. The scarf is easy to make because it uses the simple Linen Stitch or some call it the Moss Stitch. Give it a try!
Crochet Honeycomb Hat
This hat has a super cool design with a honeycomb overlay. I would recommend it for those who have crochet experience. I’ve received many compliments wearing this hat and you will too! I used Caron Simply Soft yarn.
Comfy Earflap Hat
When you live in Wisconsin like I do you need to keep your ears warm! This hat is the perfect solution! I used Caron Cakes to make my hat but the pattern calls for Red Heart Super Saver yarn. This is a fun hat to crochet and super cozy to wear!
