Though one of my New Year’s resolutions is to make more stuff for myself, I still plan to continue with the charity work. For the month of January, the Yahoo Crochet List has a donation drive for premie hats, booties, and afghans. So these are my first donations of the year.

I used the loom to make two tiny hats using Lion Brand Baby’s First yarn in a color called Sea Sprite. It is a chunky weight (5) yarn, so it seemed to work well with the loom.

For the two baby afghans, I pulled from my stash of Bernat Baby Softee yarn and doubled the yarn strands. The larger of the two is made with double crochet stitch and finished off with a shell stitch trim. The smaller that is purple and green is made with single crochet stitches and triple crochet stitches and also trimmed with shell stitch.

Whenever I make premie items, I am always struck by how tiny they are!
