The hospitals we supply are currently mainly asking for gowns, sleepsuits and sleeping bags / cuddlers in neutral colours, e.g. white, cream, pale yellow, pale green.
We are currently running short of bigger knitted or crocheted blankets, measuring 20-22″ square or bigger, again in neutral colours.
We also have a shortage of gowns in white, cream or pale yellow, measuring anywhere between 8″ and 14″ from neck to bottom of hem. These are best made with 4ply wool (acrylic) as clothing that is made with thicker DK can be too overwhelming for these tiny babies.
Thought I’d knit blanket 3 will that be the right size that you want

You are welcome to knit any blankets at all, as long as they are somewhere between 12″ and 24″ square, or occasionally even bigger than this. Any of our patterns will be perfect for our use but we also accept all sorts of other blankets, as long as they are made in white, cream or pale pastel colours.

Pull on hats are always useful. Teeny tiny ones small enough to fit a golf ball, right up to newborn size.
