K-LOVE + CURE

Knit, Pray, Love

Thanks for joining K-LOVE + CURE to show love to children and families in Afghanistan and throughout CURE’s network of hospitals by knitting. This page will give you all the details you need to participate. Watch the video and follow the instructions below.

What to Knit

  • We’re looking for knit hats for children ranging from newborn to 12-years old ranging in size from 11-25 inches in circumference. Please indicate the size of the hat so that we can sort and distribute them properly.
  • This isn't about quantity. Knit, Pray, Love is about you giving an authentic expression of yourself as a follower of Jesus Christ to a mom or child in a CURE hospital. So we ask that you provide a personal message with each hat you send.
  • Crocheted items are less appropriate for the colder months, particularly in Afghanistan. If you aren't interested in knitting, please consider sending a personal message to a patient in a CURE hospital.
  • Please don't buy hats. We’re looking for hand-knit items only (knitting looms are fine to use): garments that had your personal time, attention, and prayer. (hand-knit baby blankets will be accepted as well, but we prefer hats)
  • If you haven’t ever knitted before and want to make this your first knitting project, check out these resources. Also, here are a few helpful patterns for a hats: a simple knit cap, and another simple baby hat.
  • Depending on the volume of knit hats received, some items will go to children in other CURE hospitals around the world.
  • If you want to offset the cost of shipping these items, send along a $5 check to CURE International.
  • Please ship your knit items post-marked by February 15, 2012
  • Knit, Pray, Love is not a year-round opportunity. The campaign ends in February, and we will be unable to accept items after the end of this month. However, we are considering making it an annual event.
  • Don’t knit and still want to participate? Send a hand-written note or prayer.
