If you love to knit, please consider making a few of these small baby
hats to take to your local hospitals who need them or to crisis
pregnancy centers and so on, to anyone who helps save babies
lives. The larger sizes can be donated to homeless shelters,
and
women's shelters too. Using the color PURPLE is for a new
program
that is springing up across America-- to help save babies lives from
Shaken Baby Syndrome. For more information go to FACEBOOK
