UPDATE! Enlisting All Knitters: Help keep a soldier warm in Afghanistan

July 27, 2010: Please note that Operation Helmetliner will be ending in November 2010. For details, read our post “Update: Farewell to Operation Helmetliner.”

Wow! We continue to receive great feedback on our February story “Enlisting All Knitters: Help keep a soldier warm in Afghanistan,” and we know many of our readers already have picked up their knitting needles to help. In the last few days, we’ve received several requests for direct links to all of the knitting patterns for Operation Helmetliner, which is a service project run by Citizen S.A.M. Your wish is our command! You’ll find the direct links, below, to patterns for helmet liners, scarves, and neck gators.
