Let’s Make Beanies Together!

In honor of Jessie and her desire to help spread JOY and give comfort to kids fighting cancer, we are looking for people who love to knit, sew, crochet or loom to help make Brave Beanies for Jessie’s JoyJars. You can make one or grab a group of friends and make 100, as each beanie will provide lots of comfort to children fighting cancer!

All Brave Beanies are included in the JoyJars that are sent to courageous kids fighting cancer.

For handmade Brave Beanies, we recommend using soft yarns in fun colors! Please no wool or animal hair.
