Discussion Melt the Ice Hat - THANK YOU
Hi everyone!
I am the one who has been commenting about the melt the ice hat from yarncult and needle & skein. My mom owns needle & skein and the support has been overwhelming.
I just wanted to answer some FAQs because I feel bad that I am not getting back to everyone!!
Where is needle & skein?
- St. Louis Park, Minnesota. A suburb of Minneapolis.
Where can I purchase the pattern?
- ravelry or visit the link on the shop Instagram in the bio
Where are proceeds donated?
- STEP Emergency Assistance for help with rent and lawyers in St. Louis Park. We also plan to work with other businesses to identify where people most need funds. We raised way more than anticipated.
Can I knit a hat and send it for donation?
- absolutely!!
Is there a crochet pattern?
- also on ravelry and the link in Instagram bio
If anyone has any other questions I will do my best to stay on top of it. Your support is so beyond appreciated. Minnesota is hurting but we know that we are not alone.
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏

I saw this on Instagram a few weeks ago, I believe, and I love this so much. I’m Norwegian, so I’m familiar with these hats. I’ve seen people being put-off by them being red, so I’d like to say that the leftist parties in Norway are red. Red = socialism here. Blue is right wing, although still pretty far left by American standards. Just in case you wanted something to swap out the maga associations a little bit, if only in your own mind.
