CROCHET ANGELS

We make crocheted baby items such as hats, booties, afghans, and mittens for babies in the Oakwood Hospital NICU in Dearborn, Michigan. We have 6 people in our group and are looking for people to help us with this worthy project. Most of the babies are preemies, but there are also some full-term sick babies so we have a variety of sizes to make.

If you are a crafty person, please consider donating your items, which don't have to be crocheted, to us. We also accept materials such as yarn and ribbon that our group will use to make these items.

Our goal is to have a pair of booties, hat, and mittens for each baby to go home with. We also intend on branching out to other local area hospitals. Please stop by our website for pattern links, picture gallery, and helpful hints.
