10 FREE Cancer Awareness Crochet Patterns

This is a collection of 10 free crochet patterns to raise cancer awareness. Make these projects for someone you know, donate to charity or raise money.
Cancer – the one word that sends shivers down the back. It is a scary thing to go through whether it is yourself or someone you know.
However, I am immensely proud that even we crocheters can use our fiber craft to do something to help.
You can make a valuable item for someone that is going through treatment whether it is a chemo cap or a handmade blanket to cherish.
Secondly, if you are lucky enough and do not know anyone who is going through it at the moment, you can still make these items and donate them to hospitals or charities.
This way you will do something very kind for someone you do not know, but it will make a huge difference in their journey.
Lastly, you can make these items and sell them yourself raising money for a charity that helps cancer patients.
There are lots of options on how you can help someone with cancer by crocheting these items.
Cancer Awareness Month is in October!
