  2. very sweet. Crochet is something I really want to learn!!! My Nana did it and I remember her teaching me some but that has been a long time. I need to take a class. I have sooo many friends having babies - this would be such a nice thoughtful gift.

  4. Hello, I work in the Labor & Delivery unit at a hospital. We need tiny hats and sleeved pouch onesie's to put on our IUFD (Intra Uterine Fetal Demise) babies. We do this so the parents can hold their deceased babies, say their goodbyes and grieve. Some infants weigh less than a pound. Do you have any pattern I could buy that is for really tiny babies?

    1. Hi,

      I recently shared my simple pattern for preemie and micro preemie baby caps. You can see that post here:

      I don't have any patterns for sleeved pouch onesies. Could you give me more information about the measurements, or can you send me a picture of one (you can find my email in my profile). I can try to come up with a pattern.

  5. What do I do to size up so it'll fit 7-9 mo? Do i just add rounds or are other adjustments needed?
