NOTES:
Garter stitch
HAND KNIT

This Angels Pocket is knit in 4 sizes. It is used on the labour suites for
tiny babies who do not make it. Some of these babies are very small and
/ or fragile, so these little wraps are used. Please use wool no thicker
than 4ply in white or any pastel colour. 3 or even 2 ply is fine especially
for the smaller ones. Use the larger sizes and adjust needles to suit. They
will of course come out smaller.
Thank you to Jackie who sent us the pattern and also all the sample pockets.
