website issues

I am currently having problems with the links to my patterns. I hope to get everything back to normal soon.
Thank you for your patience.

Fall 2016

Well Fall is almost here! Time to work on sweaters, hats and blankets. Our Fall delivery will be the first week of October. This is the time of year to start on warmer items for the babies. Sweater, hat and bootie sets. Snuggly newborn blankets. Preemie blankets and fall hats. I have a lot of fun this time of year making pumpkin hats, but any fall inspired hats are welcome. Think apple hats, acorn hats, even football hats. I will add some links to the end of the post with pattern ideas.
Unfortunately we also need burial garments in all sizes.

Here are some pattern links I found:

Football hat with Earflaps
Baby Acorn Hat
Turkey Earflap Hat
Red Apple Hat
Sunflower Pixie Hat
Newborn Crochet Pumpkin Hat
Knit Pumpkin Hat

Here are some Blankets:

Dragonfly Crochet Blanket (you can change the size by chaining a multiple of 13+5)
Virus Blanket
Call the Midwife Blanket

Summer Clothing Drive

We are starting our second quarter here at Bella's Babies. That means our next delivery will be the beginning of July. This is the time of year to make summer going home outfits. Of course we are also collecting the usual, blankets, hats and burial garments.

Some things to keep in mind when making summer outfits. Please do not use Worsted Weight yarn (especially Red Heart SS) the outfits come out much too large. Stick with baby weight, sport weight and DK weight.  My favorite yarn to use is Bernat Baby Softee.  It is the perfect weight for summer.

Donations will be due by June 30, 2017.

Here are some of my favorite patterns to use. Some are mine and some are links to other sites.
