Knit Your Bit

---

If the Guinness Book of World Records had a category for the biggest knitting party of all time, the winner would be the American Red Cross and its millions of volunteers who “Knit Their Bit” during World War II to support American troops fighting around the world.

The Red Cross played a critical role in outfitting troops during World War II with warm socks and sweaters. Nearly 7.5 million Red Cross volunteers supported the war effort then, many of them knitters. The Red Cross provided the materials, and volunteers came back with thousands and thousands of socks, sweaters, “sea boots,” and gloves.

The Snyder County Chapter is once again offering this opportunity to those who enjoy knitting.  Items may be completed then dropped off at the Chapter Office.  For more information or for a "hard copy" pattern, please contact us.  Several patterns are available here.  Please feel free to download as many as you like.
