Knitting Patterns

We are very grateful for any beautiful knitting donated for us to give to bereaved parents for their precious baby. We feel very blessed to have some wonderfully talented knitters who generously donate their time, skill and work so that we may provide these special items for families in need in our local area. The fact that each piece of work is lovingly made by hand is so meaningful to our parents, it communicates that someone is caring, thoughtful and sending them love at such a heartbreaking time. 

If you are reading this because you would like to help us by knitting some items for us, thank you! 

There is a menu of patterns below that can be downloaded or copied for you to follow.

We just request that the items can be White or Cream, to keep them neutral to suit either gender. 

Also can each item be knitted as a matching pair, this is so one set can be used for baby and the other can be kept as a keepsake by their parents. We will wrap each set beautifully to be offered to parents with their Remembrance Box or Miscarriage Care Package.

Please do email us if you would like any further guidance, we would love to hear from you. If you belong to a knitting group who would like to help us we can come along to your group and show you what we do and where your lovely work will be going, we would love to meet you.

Thank you for taking the time to come here and find out about us, love and light, Val x x x
