Knit to Donate to Care Wear for Infants and Children
Written by Knitting Stitches on September 18th, 2009
Care Wear is a nationwide group of volunteer stitchers who knit, crochet, and sew handmade baby items to donate to hospitals around the country. Care Wear items are given FREE to infants, children, and their parents.
Care Wear began in 1991 as a personal effort to provide much needed apparel for premature and low birthweight infants undergoing treatment in neonatal intensive care units of several children’s hospitals in the Washington, D.C. area. Since that time thousands of handmade caps, kimonos, booties, blankets, teddy bears, bibs, burial gowns, finger puppets, incubator covers, mittens, mattress covers, and cloth animals have been submitted for distribution.
You can join the Care Wear effort by donating your handmade items to a local hospital or any of those on the Hospital List. Check out the FREE patterns on the site to knit to donate to charity.
