Project Linus blankets must be new, homemade, and washable.
The blankets may be quilted, crocheted, knitted or fleece (no wool yarns, please)
They are given to children from birth to 18 years old.
Please use kid friendly designs; colorful fabrics and yarns. Be creative and have a good time!
Be sure to weave loose yarn back into yarn blankets.
Secure the batting into the seams of quilted blankets.
Please be sure a double check blankets for pins.
**Please note, we can no longer accept tied fleece blankets** There are many patterns on the main website: www.projectlinus.org
St. Mark’s Hospital and Jordan Valley Hospital need blankets specifically for their Neonatal Intensive Care Units. These blankets should be 36” x 36” and made from flannel/cotton, two layers without batting. You may also make knitted/crocheted blankets.
thank you for all you do - we couldn't do it without fabulous blanketeers!
And no red or yellow blankets for the NICU blankets, right? I asked my NICU-nurse mother-in-law about the whys of this one...no red she said is because if the kiddo is bleeding they'd like to be able to see it right away...no yellow is so they can better gauge jaundice.
ReplyDeleteWe donate to lots of locations, so any color is fine. If the NICU can't use them, they share with other departments. Bright, colorful, kid friendly, all are great!
