Thousands of knitting clubs and organizations across the United States meet regularly to gossip, laugh and knit baby clothes for the sheer pleasure of donating them to different organizations who help parents cope with their newborn babies in need. If your knitting club is looking for something rewarding to do with your left over scraps of yarn consider knitting baby caps, booties and blankets and donating them to one of the following organizations. But remember, newborns have very delicate skin so be sure to use the softest baby weight yarn you can find.
Premature babies and newborns with critical medical needs often spend the first few weeks of their lives in the cold, sterile environment of the Neo Natal Care Unit. Parents who are already distraught over their newborns feel even more anxiety thinking that their little ones are spending their first days in an environment that in no way compares to their cozy nursery waiting at home. Little caps and blankets and booties help cozy up the atmosphere a little bit - for the parents as well as the child.
