Crochet, Knitting, and Sewing Patterns
Newborns In Needs Knitted Or Crocheted Booties, Toys, And Blankets.
We generally have a lot of hats at any given time because they are so easy and quick to make but we appreciate them! We don’t get as many donations of booties, toys, or blankets and we could really use those as well.

You can use plastic snaps in place of the velcro. (Don’t use metal snaps, as they can get hot in the incubators and burn baby’s skin.)
