Hello
I would be happy to do some knitting for you is there anything you particularly need?
best wishes
Jane
I belong to a group that will love to knit for you. Where do we send them to?
That’s great Jane, I have e.mailed you more details.
I am trying to find the pattern for the hat pictured with the ribbon weaving through.
It’s adorable and I would like to knit it.
Can you help me?
Sorry for the delay in replying to your comment Suzanne, the pattern for the hat can be found here <a href=”https://algerianaction.wordpress.com/2008/09/27/and-here-it-is/”
Hope that helps. Emma
What size yarn do you use for the baby hats?
Hi sandra, I usually use dk / worsted yarn for the baby hats. I have tried using thinner yarns but have found that the hats don’t hold their shape quite as well. Let us know how you get on!
I’ve just knitted yet another of your mesh hats, but this time I did it in 4ply, on 3.25mm needles, and its come out the perfect size for a premature baby. My friends colleague had a baby 3 months early and so I’ve done one of these hats for him. I will do more of these from now on, as I know they knit up so beautifully! Just thought you might like to know how it came out. xx
Wow 3 months early, he must be so tiny!
I’m glad to hear that the hat turned out well, thank you for letting me know and thanks also for sharing how to make it smaller.

Tiny yes! He weighs just under 2lbs!
If I can work out how, I’ll repost the picture from my facebook account, onto your facebook page, so that you can see how lovely it is.

Hi,
I have just finished knitting some litte baby booties (blue) and i was wondering if there were any other knitting patterns that I could follow?
I have also got a half finished blanket and i was wondering how big you would like the blankets to be?
Thanks,
Ellie (12)
Always happy to help …….
Hi Ellie,
Thank you so much for your help!
Blankets can be any size from 18″
We have a few knitting patterns listed here on our website and also some links to patterns featured elsewhere, maybe some of those will be useful to you.
hey,
Thx so much for your help. I am just about to carry on with my blanket. I have also just finished a baby hat. We will sent all of our clothes at once instead of little packages.

Just to let you know i am knitting because my dog was put down a couple of weeks ago so it is something to keep my mind off of it .
Thanks xxxx
Oh Ellie, I am so sorry to read about your dog. I am glad that knitting for babies in need is helping you at this difficult time. xx
Hi again,
I would like to ask you what you mean by 18 inches. Length ways, Width, Square? Sorry.
Sorry, I should have been clearer. The minimum length of any side should be 18″
Hi,
Thanks, i appreciate your help. I have nearly finished my blanket and it is looking great. I can’t wait to send these off!

We have knitted lots of jumpers for newborn babies using the ‘fish &chip babypattern’. We have now been told that they have far too many and are no longer required. Would they be any use to you? Where donwe need to send them? Sheila (Bampton, Devon, knit and natter group)
Hello! I love the look of your MESH HAT and can’t wait to try out the pattern. I am a novice knitter and was wondering if this pattern is done on circular needles, straight needles, or double pointed needles? I noticed your last instruction states “Cut yarn and thread through remaining stitches, sew up seam…” I’m knitting hats for our local hospital and am quite fond of the two circular needle method.
Thanks!!!

I believe there is an error on row 29. It’s says knit 5, k2tog until end. Should this be stated repeat until Knit? This is for the Mesh hat.
BUENAS TARDES…. PODRÍAN PONER LAS INSTRUCCIONES EN ESPAÑOL… SERÍA FANTÁSTICO….GRACIAS
