The 1st Fourways Cubs make winter beanies for 35 children
FOURWAYS – The 1st Fourways Cubs learned how to use a loom when they made beanies for créche-aged children recently.
There were smiles all around as 35 children from a small crèche in Black Hawk Estate on 6 June were given beanies knitted by the Cubs from the 1st Fourways Scout Group.
“Our Cubs learned how to knit beanies on a loom in order to make a gift to help keep less-fortunate children warm this winter,” Pack Scouter Melanie Dawes explained. “It was wonderful to see the Cubs mastering a new skill and giving back to the community”.
Each Cub made at least one beanie and some enjoyed it so much they now have a new hobby.
The group is so grateful to Kismet Yarns at Deco Park who supplied the wool and looms, as this made the project cost-effective.
