How to help us

We love to get offers of help with creating our blankets, without it we would not be able to keep up with the demand for them, so here is a few ways you can help.

1, knit or crochet squares for us. Use the following as guidelines:



* use any yarn of colour you like as long as it can be machine washed
* feel free to add any pattern or design you like 
* make it in a square of 20cm x 20cm or sew 4 smaller squares together 
* leave the yarn tail on the ends to allow us ease of stitching them together

2, create a full sized blanket. We use 20 of the squares to make a blanket, but feel free to make it any size you like to snuggle under. 

3, offer help to stitch squares together; we currently have 140 squares to stitch together, and 20 people on our waiting to receive list, to get these sewn together quickly means our list is smaller and no one is waiting too long.  

4, make a donation to our postage costs, it costs us £5 to send a blanket if you can help in this way we have a PayPal address at sentwithloveteam@gmail.com

5, make a donation of yarn, perhaps you have more than you know what to do with, or just want to help us keep our regular crafters stocked up with yarn to help them keep creating, we can give you our wish list for certain websites and an address to send to, we promise it will all be well used and we would be extremely greatful for this help. 

6, share, share,share.  Word of mouth is brilliant for us, so please share our blog, facebook page and Twitter to help us get word about sent with love out. 

If you can help in anyway please send us a message on Facebook,or via email sentwithloveteam@gmail.com

  1. If we make a whole blanket, do we send it out or do we post it to the team?
