Knit Ventilation Hat
Submitted by Ruth |
We are pleased to have received this pattern specially designed by Ruth’s
Mum for Glan Clwyd Special Care Babies. The pattern produces a bonnet with
a front, which can be "opened". This enables baby to be attended to without
the bonnet being removed.
Thank you Ruth’s Mum for letting us use it on our site.
