I'm glad to see this hard-to-find pattern. I've been knitting for a local hospital's neo-natal/maternity ward. The nurses dress up these little angel babies before bringing them to their grieving parents.
ReplyDeleteIt helps in bringing acceptance and closure.
Do you have a pattern for angel Boy outfit?
ReplyDeleteHi, these are just perfect as I knit for angel babies but was wondering would you be able to do something for a boy, Thank you
ReplyDeleteI do a different pattern on bottom half for boy or girl i.e. lacey or zig zag stitch.
