Patterns

Premature Babies - all items must be machine washable and not made of a lacy pattern that could trap tiny fingers and toes

There are 2 sizes of the quilts/blankets that we are commonly asked for - see below. Also, they are sometimes used to lie the babies on, so must not be made with any ridges or of a rough material that could chafe their delicate skin.

Quilts and fleeces - 18” x 18” (45cm x 45cm)

Light-weight blankets, quilts or fleeces - 30” x 30” (75cm x 75cm)

Babies - again all items must be machine washable. We would very much prefer cardigans to matinee jackets if possible. Please remember that babies’ heads are proportionally much larger than their bodies so do make the neck openings big enough. Finally could all sets of items be stitched together please, to prevent them being separated.

Shawl and blankets for buggies or cots are most welcome too, in the following approximate sizes:

Shawls - 40” x 40” (100cm x 100cm) in baby colours and can be in a lacy patterns or plain.

Blankets - 5’ x 4-5’ (150cm x 120-150cm)
