you would like to sew and pack a ditty bag yourself!​​

​
If you enjoy knitting, we have a special request!
​
Seafarers greatly appreciate hand-knitted items for the colder months.
Here are some helpful and easy patterns you can follow:
​
Warm hats
​
Scarves
​
Balaclavas
​
Please use tight-knit patterns to block cold winds.
If possible, gently pre-wash the hats in lukewarm water to
prevent shrinkage and ensure durability for our seafarers.
​
These thoughtful, handmade items offer warmth and remind seafarers that they are cared for, even while far from home.
