Marla is asking that you please visit NEWBORNS
IN NEED Perhaps you could be of some assistance by donating crocheted or
knitted items to help their cause.
Materials: If using a BABY weight yarn such as Caron Cuddlesoft or
Jamie, use a G hook. If using BABY SPORT weight or SPORT yarn use an F Hook.
To fit a 2-3lb preemie use Jamie or Cuddlesoft or similar weight 3 ply
baby yarn (NOT baby sport weight) and and E or F hook. To fit a newborn, use a G
or H hook and either baby sport, baby sport pompadour or sport. I even used an I
hook (I crochet tightly) and regular sport yarn and got a nice NB-3MO size. This
was using regular Red Heart Soft or Sport yarn. Just make sure your yarn is soft
and your item is not "Cast Iron". If using for burial, always use very
soft yarn, pastel colors and the hook you need or your size as these items need
to be very soft and pretty as these babies are very delicate.
You will also need 1/8" ribbon of color choice. The 3-4lb pattern takes
about 1oz or less of yarn depending on type. Pastel colors preferred for burial.
If this pattern is used for burial, turn so that the openings are in the back
and use about 8" of ribbon for ties in the back. Place one tie at neck
through second row down, second stitch over; one through the middle of diaper
cover on top row then thread through the last two stitches on each side of
bottom of shirt and one at each side of diaper cover.
If used for burial, use about 12" of ribbon for a bow in front (solid side)
in the center of garment three rows down from neck.
