In the 1940s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Join the CRAFTIVIST revolution and make your own red protest hat!

Otherwise, here’s a similar FREE VERSION to download. We’ll also have some paper copies of this one to share - knit only. Or if you have a pattern of your own, please bring that!
Come prepared with:
Needles - size for your pattern.
Red yarn if you have it. We have some skeins to share until we run out!
Snack to share if you’re able.
Drink or water bottle.
Make one for yourself and/or donate one to our protest team!
