Care Wear is a wonderful organization founded in Washington D.C. They offer a wonderful selection of free sewing, knitting and crochet patterns for premature and low birth weight infants.
Editor's Note: This site has a list of hospitals across the US and even in some other countries that are looking for handmade items for their tiniest patients. If you have some time and a bit of fabric or yarn; take some time to help comfort these children and their families.
Crafty Tips:
When making hand-crafted items for infants in the hospital, be sure to use washable materials and to not wash them with fabric softeners, perfumes or sachet as these may irritate their fragile skin.
