Refuweegee Hat

The Refuweegee Hat supported Glasgow-based charity Refuweegee, who help forcibly displaced people receive a warm welcome in Scotland.

It’s a simple 2x2 rib pattern with two brim choices in sizes for all the family. Perfect for beginners and seasoned knitters alike.

Between October 2024 and March 2025 all pattern sales went to Refuweegee. And together we raised over £700!
