My mom used to knit those for newborns at our hospital. She just couldn't sit and watch TV, and loved to do this. I'm not a knitter, but when I see these little hats and the good they do, I wish I were!

I would love the patterns. I also have to have something to do. I am currently doing a counted cross stitch picture of Belle for my granddaughter's new bedroom. Also crocheting a baby blanket for her baby brother or sister due in March, four days before her birthday.

That is great! I have a knitting/crocheting group that does caps for Arkansas Children's Hospital. They are so greatly appreciated. We never know who receives the caps, but we do know that the child and parents are appreciative of our loving thoughts when we create something an unknown child in need!

I love your little caps and have never been a pastel-person so appreciate the bright colors.

Here's a web page that has patterns and identifies hospitals that will take donated handmade items for infants.

What adorable "hats". Isn't it funny that we always have to he doing something with our hands? I love your choice of "busy" Work. I'm sure it'll be much appreciated.

I make britches and shorts for orphans, and that makes me very happy.

Nice little hats! The colors are fine too. Iknow that at the hospital I work they often run out of baby caps especially for boys so they will be so happy to get such a variety of colors!
