Preemie Hat, Mitts and Booties (for donating)

[mrsflibble]

lovely items and a lovely idea.

can you sew? if so people who provide foster care often need duffel bags and things for kids who turn up with nothing. a personal duffel bag is so much nicer than a bin bag for keeping your own things in, and they make the children feel special even if they're made from your scrappiest bits of left over fabric.

don't forget to line any crocheted burial gowns for little people. cotton blends and especially brushed cotton are best as they not only hide any problems or lines left in situ on the little body, but they also soak up any fluidsand a crocheted top layer of the gown helps to disguise fluid loss.

also, dont make booties of any less than an inch and a half long because the smaller the little feet, the harder to get booties on.
