TCP patterns are designed with the specific charity in mind, according to their sizing. Sometimes there are more guidelines as well. Usually they involve things like allergies, meaning wool yarn usually isn't the best idea as well as knitting and crocheting around pets. They like asking for acrylic yarn most of the time. If you have a pet, there are ways around this. Going to a cafe or park to make your project and keeping it in a bag while it is at home. Most charities don't want you to wash them because they already have systems in place for that. Some ask for the project to be donated in a new plastic bag and envelope/box to keep them from getting wet in the mail and keep sterile as possible. Check their website for their specific guidelines.
