Thank you Jane Lubben of NY for your donation of hats and the sweater set.

Summer Things

I made a delivery to Southside Hospital last week.  There were over 200 items.  For our next delivery we will be in need of Preemie blankets and burial gowns. Of course we have a need for everything but we didn't have too many preemie blankets this past delivery so they will be a greater need for them. Also, I haven't received any burial garments in a while so they will be in need of those too.
Thanks!

Gifts from Down Under

I received these beautiful baby clothes from Moira in Queensland, Australia. It is our first international donation. Thank you Moira!

Bunny Hats

I have been making bunny hats for Southside. If you would like to make some I could use a little help.  I used this pattern for the hat. I am using Pound of Love and a size
G-7 hook for the larger ones and Bernat Softee Baby and a size G-6 hook for the smaller ones.  To make the hat with a fold up bring work 11 rows of DC and 1 row sc crochet in the contrasting color.

To make the ears: ch 8, dc in 4th chain from hook and each chain across, ch 2 turn, work 8 DC rows. To decrease for the point of the ear: (row 9) DC in first 2 stitches then work a DC decrease in the next 2 sts, ch 2 turn. Row 10: DC decrease 2 stitches together and fasten off. 
Make 2 white ears and 2 pink or blue ears.  Lay the colored ear on the white ear and single crochet the ears together, I just work the 2 long sides, you don't need to crochet the bottoms of the ears together. Sew on.

Remember hats should be 11"-12" around.
Thanks!
