These cute little premature baby blankets are my latest charity knitting project.

This one is made in simple a basket weave stitch ~
and the following one is made in a pretty diagonal stitch.
A garter stitch border ensures that they lie flat, with no curling edges.

Blankets for premature babies are quick to make and each one uses only 100g of acrylic DK yarn.
These stitches are perfect ~ pretty and practical.
Lacy patterns look cute but are not suitable for tiny babies as there is a danger of little fingers being caught in the holes.
Pastel shades are in greatest demand, ie: white, pink, green, blue, yellow, peach, lilac. Bright and dark colours are not so suitable for special care baby units.
These patterns came from ~
