handmade hope, loop by loop
Love & Loops delivers handmade crocheted and knitted beanies, blankets, toys, and bags to babies and children in hospitals, shelters and orphanages, starting close to home and Sri Lanka and spreading to the world. Because every child deserves to feel loved, we also donate essentials like diapers and other items families need.
Last year, my family visited Sri Lanka and I came home a different person. Seeing the kids there stayed with me long after the flight back. I have been crocheting and knitting since I was little, but suddenly it clicked, I wanted to show those kids how much they are loved through my crafting.
I am starting this project with my mom and family in Sri Lanka. We are working with hospitals, shelters and orphanages to get handmade hats, blankets, and toys into the hands of kids who need a reason to smile. Every single piece is handmade, tagged with love, and sent with the hope that it makes their day a little brighter.
Blankets
A portable hug made from the softest yarn possible to keep kids extra cozy.
Hats
Handmade beanies for newborns and kids undergoing treatment to provide comfort and warmth.
Toys
Mini handmade besties to keep kids company and be a loyal friend whenever they need one.
Bags
Special totes for kids to keep their treasures in, giving them a little piece of "home" they can carry.
