KNITTING FOR THOSE IN NEED
“[The LORD your God] ensures that orphans and widows receive justice.
He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing…”
Deuteronomy 10:18
Since 2021, we have been coming together in virtual fellowship to knit gloves, hats and scarves for the homeless, as well as hats and blankets for newborns affected by poverty. We hope to see you there!
The Garden is pleased to offer a grant of up to $50USD ($65CDN) to purchase knitting supplies.
Please fill out the grant form for reimbursement consideration.

Getting Started
To get started, all you need is wool, needles or a loom, a pattern, and, of course, time and love! Have a peek at some of our favourite patterns here.
What if I can’t knit?
For those of us who can’t knit, try using a loom to knit hats and scarves! To get started, watch this video tutorial.
How to Donate
The knitted items can be donated directly to your local charity. If you’re unable to do this, we can help. Contact us for more information.
Inspire others
Please send us photos of your “knit-2-gether” knitting projects to share on our website and social media, with a short report of what you’ve been up to. Please share easy patterns and ideas.
Order FREE labels
Fill in the form below if you’d like to attach some labels to your knitting before donating. This helps us to feel like a community working together in service to our Lord and may provide opportunities for preaching. There’s space on the back of the label if you’d like to write a personal message.
