Yarnies541 believes Mental Health is important. Meeps and Pocket Hugs are part of the work we do as a group to raise awareness about mental health care, suicide prevention, and ending the stigma around talking about mental health. You can find Yarnies541 supporting the work in our area through NAMI Lane County (the National Alliance on Mental Health) learn more at NamiLane.org
Please check out the pattern designers Maura Moore at AllYouMeepIsLove.com and Laura Salisbury at AlwaysBeKindYarn.com to learn more about their missions to raise awareness and connect with others to reduce stigma and create stronger communities.
Below are the patterns for crochet Meeps and knit Pocket Hugs. Please feel free to make and give away as many of these little creatures as you want, we only ask that you don’t sell the patterns.
