Ditty Bag Tutorial

Here is a tutorial you can follow if

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 

Pattern 1

Pattern 2

​

Scarves

Pattern 1 

​

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.
