Newlyn Knitters

If anyone is interested in helping, please make some! We can hand them into West Cornwall Hospital and they will send them to Truro.
I'll put a link to patterns in the comments below.

We are still busy making items for the premature babies in the neonatal unit at the Royal Cornwall Hospital. Yesterday I handed in a bunch of stuff including contributions from Sue Rouncefield, Annette Costello, Melissa Morse and myself, Pnina Osguthorpe. I'm sure more will follow! Thanks everyone.

Quite a substantial list of patterns, most of them for knitting but also a few for crocheting.

Got some requests for crochet patterns for premie hats, so here are two - one is worked in rounds, the other worked in rows (sideways). ----------------------------------------- ---- Beanie Hat for Preemie Babies - UK terms Pnina Osguthorpe
... Based on https://hearthookhome.com/beanie-hat-for- preemie-babies-fr…/
Hook size 3.25-5 Yarn : dk, Acrylic in pastel colors The size of the hat will depend on the hook/yarn
Abbreviations: MR - magic ring HTR - Half treble Sl St - slip stich
Pattern Work in spirals. �Round 1: Make 10HTR in MR. (10)�*tighten circle*�Round 2: Ch-1, 2HTR in each st around. (20)�Round 3: Ch-1, *1HTR in first st, 2hdc in next*. (30)�Rounds 4 – 12: Ch-1, HTR in each around (30)�Sl st in next st. Fasten off and weave in ends. The hat is longer than needed, to be able to roll it up, and then roll it down as the baby grows.
