The items will be donated to area
children and adults in need. Although
Cozee's is set up to donate to group
homes and nursing homes, I will take
requests for individuals.  If you know
an adult or child who could use a
lapghan, please
contact me  and
include the age and gender of the
recipient, plus shipping information.  
Requests for individuals will be placed
on a waiting list.  No one will ever be
charged for any item.

I provide basic patterns but you are not limited by these.  I welcome all designs and color(s) of your choosing!  I provide these patterns for those
who may have difficulty finding other patterns online or in pattern books.

Special notes:

Slippers: Fleece slippers are preferable to crochet/knit for children due to the possibility of a negative tactile response.  Many children in
wheelchairs have an aversion to some textures and crochet/knitted items on the feet may be irritating to their sense of touch.  Fleece is rarely
irritating to sensitive skin.  Please, only fleece slippers for children.  When constructing these slippers, please make sure there are no rough
edges on the insides.  Bright colors and patterns are preferable!

Lapghans:  I received requests for pockets on the adult lapghans.  Not all lapghans need pockets though.  I will be putting pockets on all the
crochet and fleece lapghans I make this year.  On the Cozee's Basic Lapghan pattern page, I've included how to add a pocket plus a very simple
pattern.  The pockets were requested for a few reasons:  to slide hands in to keep warm and/or to place tissues, eye glasses, etc.
