Crocheted Newborn Cap

About a week ago, from the blog “Home Sweet Homebodies” I learned about the program Caps for Good. You can read more about this project here. But basically, it’s about making a tiny baby hat that will be sent to newborn health programs in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.



Of course, I wanted to participate!

It only took me one evening to crochet this baby cap. It’s about 12 inches in circumference at the crown (which was one of the specifications of the project). I also wanted to make a little flower decoration, but I thought I probably shouldn’t make it gender specific.

I am going to mail it to NY next week. And then it will be sent to its destination. I so hope this cap will keep a new baby warm and cozy.

Tonight, I will be linking to Show and Tell Friday, Hodgepodge Friday, and Flaunt it Friday.

This is such a sweet idea! And yours is just so beautifully made. I don't think I've ever seen that pattern before. You know, so few people practice this art anymore. I really admire your talent.

Thank you for following my blog because, now, I've learned of yours and I think it's fabulous. My mother-in-law just came for an extended visit from Romania and she knits very well. She brought us many handmade goods and has been making baby things. I'll share photos and maybe get her to participate in the "Caps for Good" cause. Thanks for sharing the info.!
