Port Pillow Project
Charlotte Yarn is pleased to initiate the "Port Pillow Project" which will provide knitted and crocheted port pillows for cancer patients. These port pillows will be delivered to the Charlotte Levine Cancer Institute (LCI). We need your help in making these pillows for this worthy cause.
What Is Pillow Port?
Many cancer patients have to endure long grueling hours undergoing chemotherapy administered through a port. Sometimes those ports stay embedded in the chest wall for months at a time. When patients get into a vehicle the seat belt shoulder strap crosses the chest exactly where the port is inserted, often causing discomfort. The port pillow is a small cushion with a strap that fits onto a seat belt so patients can ride with ease

We will soon have available patterns for port pillows knitted in the round We will publish and announce this pattern when it is available.
