Want to give a baby A warm start ?
A heartwarming initiative that we started in 2009 is to make up baby packs to support mums who are undergoing financial hardship and struggling to provide a stable family environment. These gift packs contain a hand knitted cot blanket, beanie, booties, jacket and toy.
Unfortunately, there are many mums who can’t afford to give their new baby a warm start in life and that’s why we’re looking for more knitters to create items for gift packs so that we can extend the initiative as widely as possible.

Here is a selection of patterns for items that we use a lot. These are only suggestions so please feel free to be as creative as you would like! Beginner knitters might like to start with our basic scarf pattern. For those who are a little more advanced, you might like to try our 8ply stocking stitch beanie pattern or our 12ply stocking stitch beanie pattern - preferably without the brim or pompom!
We can find a deserving “home” for any hand knit – whether it be for baby, child or adult!
