Linda from 'Chalky's World' Blog started the 'Rainbows Project' off to a flying start with this delightful bundle of many hats, cardigans and 'Angel Pockets'. Linda is one of the most prolific 'Charity Crafters' I have come across. She is always on the make for a wide variety of worthy causes. xxx
I am hoping this page will grow with links to patterns and example of preemie knits/crochet garments.
All help gratefully received thank you.

A Pattern for Garter Stitch Angel Pockets
These are used on all Maternity Suites, sadly they are for the tiny babies that do not make it.
Linda from 'Chalky's World' blog sent some beautiful 'Angel Pockets' that will be used as burial wraps for tiny babies. These will bring families some comfort at a very sad time.
Upon Butterfly Wings
This site has many patterns for different garments in different sizes both knitting and crochet. This site also reminds us to knit for 'Angel Babies' who sadly do not survive. There is always a demand for burial garments. xxx
Pattern 'Teresa's 10 Minute Crochet Preemie Hat'
Lacey from Minaandme Blog sent a lovely parcel from the USA of 15 tiny hats. She recommended this pattern so I had a go myself.
It is a great little pattern, very easy and quick. Both Lacey and I agree they take a little over 10 minutes to make.
Steph also used this pattern for this cute collection of hats:
My lovely Blog Buddy Teresa Kasner suggested I start this project and ask Blog Buddies to help. Some people are choosing to make garments for 'Preemie Babies' and donate to their local Maternity Wards. Teresa made this cutie.
