Knit A Condom Amulet, joins Little Red as a chicklet, a blogzine for more focus on Safe Sex. The debut of the site was November 30, 2007. Its goal: encourage other knitters to use leftover yarn (or buy one on-sale ball) and make these, get the message out. Here are free patterns for Condom Amulets. Copy them to make an amulet for yourself, family, and friends of all ages and sexes. Four knitting friends have joined me to send the idea to go out into the world. We need your participation. Use our ideas and your own to spotlight Safe Sex -- for HIV awareness, protection from STDs--and to avoid accidental pregnancy.

Sheila , my friend who always swatches, donated the swatch from a scarf she made for a Princeton alum; black and orange are their colors. It is good, old stockinette.
The I-cord technique was used for the letter “P.”

Two more Condom Amulets in the college series with safety-pin backs. Oberlin, crocheted in honor of my own alma mater and Columbia for the university down the street from my home… where we distributed 500 New York City condoms at the 2006 Law School graduation!

University of Utah would work for a larger amulet to fit the female condom on this page. Looking forward to your collegiate creations. Leave a comment at A Little Red Hen on how you fit them into the curriculum.
