KNITTING, SEWING, CROCHET & WOOL CAMPAIGN
CAN YOU HELP WITH KNITTING, SEWING OR CROCHET ?
With winter fast approaching in Ukraine we now need a new focus on winter items including blankets, knitted garments (particularly for children of infant and junior school age) and hot water bottle covers. Here is what we need:
For Baby Boxes:
-
Booties, mittens, jackets / cardigans / jumpers and hats (hats are a lower priority as we have a lot at the moment)
-
Sizes – preferably based on 0-3 or 0-6 month patterns (roughly 15-18 inch chest or 14-18 inch head)
-
Small knitted toys – preferably in cheerful colours !
-
Baby blankets
-
No holes in blankets please to avoid catching small fingers and toes
-
If possible, please aim for dimensions of around 24 x 24 inch square or similar
-
Squares – if you are making squares (e.g. 3 x 3 8 inch or 4 x 4 6 inch) we’d REALLY appreciate that these are sewed together. We have over 400 squares waiting to be sewn together !
-
-
Knitted or crocheted, felt and fabric hearts, sunflowers or similar to place into baby boxes for mums
-
Crocheted octopuses (click here for pattern) to comfort premature babies
