You're a star Karen you have no idea how much those hats mean to the children...so many of them have shaved heads or the tightest short curls, the insurlating layer of the hats prevents so much heat loss and gives them a secure warm feeling all over.

Oh that's so kind of you to tell me. I do enjoy knitting them but sometimes dread the sewing up of them - I can be guilty of procrastinating, however your comment will spur me on to finish them faster ♥️
11 Hats which takes my total count of hats to 1500!!
The top jazzy ones are based on a random ball of King Cole Jitterbug DK Wham, and the pinks are made with an odd ball of sock wool with white DK as the second strand for 3 and a dusky pink for the other two. (I feel these didn't photograph very well, our December daylight has been minimal, sad face)

These are beautiful Karen! Hats are so important. Survival training is that a person can lose up to 90% of body heat through the head area in cold conditions. So this warmth is critical for a child that is facing difficult circumstances. Beautiful work. Literally a life saver.
INCREDIBLE. You are truly a blessing to KAS for continuing this production line to warm the children. It is always so much fun to see your hats on the children's heads in the distribution photos.

GORGEOUS hats, Karen!!
Congrats, that's a FAB achievement. Think I've knitted about 6 hats for KAS in the last 15 years.

Incroyable Karen : vous avez réchauffé 1500 petites têtes et vous êtes l'Ange des chapeaux. J'aime beaucoup la série rose du bas.
An amazing achievement, Karen. I was trying to imagine what 1500 children together would look like. Of course these days you can look anything up so here is a photo showing a crowd of approximately 1500 people. Now we just have to visualise them as children wearing Karen's hats!
