  1. Thank you for posting this pattern. Unfortunately my daughter gave birth to an angel baby. Just two weeks before she was due. She looked so perfect, she was a good weight. There are no answer why this dreadful tragic heartbreaking hurt came our way.
    I was so humbled by the kindness of strangers who for no reason but the goodness of their hearts knit an donate so many beautiful items to give solaice and comfort to people who have to somehow cope with the nightmare they are living through.
    I decided I wanted to make some little things that can be passed on to others in our situation. So I was looking for something useful. This little gown would be great.
    Thank you again. Sandra Crosbie
