In
regards to patterns - anything stay on bootie
wise - socks are not a good idea. In regards to
sizes, this can be tough as a preemie can be anywhere
in size from 1lb to 5 lbs. Usually a baby is over
4 pounds in order to be sent home and that is
when handknits come in handy. Small sweaters,
booties, bibs, blankets. Some have said that a
preemie baby's head is about the size of a orange
but this varies as well. Larger handknits will
be put to use as preemies grow during the winter
months. It's hard to find preemie clothes and
they are quite expensive to buy. It's RSV season
during the winter and preemies have many many
doc appts those first few months. Handknits and
blankets are the only way to keep them warm.
