Knots of Love is a Wisconsin-based nonprofit organization headquartered in Ashland that crafts handmade hats and tiny blankets and distributes them at no cost. Founded in 2007, the group expanded its mission in 2013 to include small blankets for neonatal babies in ICU incubators. The organization operates as a 501(c)(3) public charity and relies on thousands of volunteers who knit and crochet across the country, supported by a small staff. It distributes its items to more than 590 cancer centers, NICUs, doctors' offices, and hospitals across the United States. Over its 18-year history, Knots of Love has gifted more than half a million handmade creations and currently produces thousands of beanies and NICU blankets each month; the work has drawn recognition from organizations such as the American Cancer Society and the U.S. Congress.
