Preemie Blanket Knitting Patterns


A premature baby requires a great amount of additional tender loving care if it is to survive and thrive, and one area that needs special attention is keeping the precious one warm at all times. Making and using several knitted preemie blankets is a good way to address this aspect, and luckily for knitters there are tons of wonderful free patterns around to fit every taste and possible scope of use.
