The CHUNKEE Monkey

HATS TO HELP CATS  (and DOGS too, of course!)

UNDER CONSTRUCTION . . . 

About Chunkee Monkey
This is an novel idea I  am trying out for a very modest and personal means of fund-raising for the SPCA.   In appreciation for making a $25 donation to the SPCA, I will provide you with a free winter hat or scarf.   My goal is 50 hats! Please don't make any donation until arrangements have been made for a specific item and it only works if you request the SPCA to send me a notification.  (See How To Donate To SPCA.)  For the time being, this offer may be limited to people "in the know."  

This is our cat Teddy, the original "chunkee monkey."   Don't worry, he is not as fat as he looks.  (The camera always adds an extra five pounds!)
How to Donate . . .
WAIT!  Make sure you have received email confirmation that your item is available for you before proceeding. . . 

Go to https://spca.bc.ca and click on the Donate  button.  Be sure to click on the "Dedicate this donation" button (shown at left).  When prompted, ask that a notification be sent to admin@chunkeemonkey.com so that I know the donation has been made.  Also make sure you choose that this is a one-time only donation (not the default ongoing monthly one).
PLEASE NOTE:  I have no affiliation with the SPCA, so any concerns you have about the donation process or the SPCA do not involve chunkeemonkey.com.

Men's Fitted Beanie

Snow Day Hat

This is my basic "go to" pattern for making heavy winter hats (including Snow Leopard).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaeJf49MF0o. 

Gina Pink Hat

Hugs scarf

This is one I just made up myself when learning to crochet.  I used Bernat® Blanket Tweeds from Michaels. Chain 15 stitches (7.5 inches approximately wide) Half double crochet in second chain from hook and continue rest of row.  Chain 1 and turn.  Keep going until desired length is reached.  This scarf is very lightweight, but surprisingly warm and cozy.

Textured Beanie Hat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNqrcXrs2hI&t=695s.  Another favourite. ​ This ​fits well at the top without any extra ​puckering to close.

Easiest Worsted Crochet Hat

This is absolutely the easiest and quickest hat pattern so far, and the video is so easy to follow:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcrwwFUS5p8&t=10s
