Hjärtekatten Abbe. 

A charity project for Hjärt- och Lungfonden.

A crochet cat with a broken heart called Abbe. Abbe was designed and crocheted by Louise for a charity auction on hejaabbe.com, an award winning blog run by a father of a child with a heart condition. All the profits from the auction went to Hjärt- och Lungfonden’s campain ”Alla barnhjärtans månad”.

After this project Louise’s idea was lent to the project hjartekatten.se and now all children with a heart condition get their own hjärtekatt when hospitalized at Drottning Silvias barn- och ungdomssjukhus in Göteborg or Skånes universitetssjukhus in Lund. The cats are crocheted by volunteers all around Sweden. Over 5600 cats has been crocheted as by April 2022.
