The Arcade Knitters have reached a deal with the hospital to supply chemotherapy patients with seamless knitted hats and washcloths, both made with cotton soft yarn, which will not irritate their sensitive skin.

Recently, the group donated thousands of knitted hats for Innocent smoothie bottles. Click here to read more.
