Newborn Baby Crochet Hat Pattern Perfect Crochet Hat for Donating to Hospitals

This newborn crochet hat is perfect for babies just coming out of the hospital or making a few baby hats in varying colors and donating them to your local hospital.  Newborn Babies can lose heat really quickly straight after birth so they require warm hats immediately to help keep them warm and cozy.  If they lose heat too quickly after being born they can become quite unwell.  Please check with your local maternity unit on what colors they may need, as some units run a traffic light system and are a fantastic visual aid for the midwives to easily identify babies that may need a little more help and attention in the first few hours.  RED -  red hats are used for babies who are more at risk and require more regular observations.  AMBER hats - require just a little bit more attention.  GREEN Hats - lower risk babies and only require routine observations as they are healthy and a good weight.  (Please check with the labor Delivery suite midwives if donations are being taken at this time,

Crochet TurtleNeck Hooded Cowl akaThe Coodie

 Free written Crochet Pattern for the Crochet Hooded Turtleneck Cowl which I have named   'The Coodie'. This crochet hooded cowl is so cozy and warm.  The ribbed crochet stitch for the neckpiece is both fashionable and functional as it is so easy to wear up or turn down.   I honestly LOVE this crochet hooded cowl. I think it's the most favorite piece of the item I've made to date.  I was asked if I could make something that would incorporate a turtleneck cowl with a Hood. They wanted something they could easily fold up and down to cover their face and nose.  The weather has changed dramatically and it had to have a hood, which could go up or down.  It's bitterly cold here in the North of Scotland. I had been unwell but hope to get out and about and get some lovely pictures of me wearing my Hooded cowl.   Well I finally got better and got out and about to see the Horses.   And I can Confirm the hooded cowl IS as Warm and cosy as I knew it would be.   I used a 400g Ba
