If you plan on making these, please consider the following:
  
  1 Check charities first to see if there are Color preferences.  One site/charity specifically says white only.  The site I sent my first box to had no preferences listed, but I did receive a letter asking for PINK and BLUE.  Seems the nurses there dress the tiny babies before placing them in Mom/Dad's arms.  They tend to pink for girls  & blue for boys (then in order, Yellow,  green, orchid & lastly, variegated colors--I thought the variegated were nicest, but the staff didn't agree with me -- so now I use only shades of pink & blue).
  
  2 Check to see just "what" the site wants.  I started using Bev's patterns, making gowns, bonnets, booties & appropriately-sized blankets.  THEN came a very nice message asking me to include SIZES on my tags.  [I bag each set individually]  (Diameter of Hat; chest; length of gown, booties, etc.)  That way the baby can be measured & an appropriate bag removed from the shelf.  Saves having to dress/undress baby until correct size is found.  I use this chart of Melinda Gorleys and label accordingly.  Remember, your handiwork does stretch "some"

Here are some baby measurements you might find helpful when making the gowns.

1-3 LBS NECK TO FEET: 10 1/2" WRIST TO WRIST: 10 1/2" CIRCUMF. BOTTOM OF NECK: 3" CHEST: 8" HEAD: 10" FEET: 1 1/2" - 2" (anything smaller is hard for the nurses to get on the babies' feet)

3-5 LBS NECK TO FEET: 14 1/4" WRIST TO WRIST: 12 1/2" CIRCUMF. BOTTOM OF NECK: 3 1/2" CHEST: 10"  HEAD: 12 1/2" FEET: 2 1/2" - 3"

6-8 LBS NECK TO FEET: 14 1/2" WRIST TO WRIST: 14 1/4" CIRCUMF. BOTTOM OF NECK: 4 1/2" CHEST: 11 1/2"  HEAD: 13 1/2" FEET: 3" - 3 1/2"

9-11 LBS NECK TO FEET: 17" WRIST TO WRIST: 16" CIRCUMF. BOTTOM OF NECK: 5 1/2" CHEST: 14 1/2"  HEAD: 14 1/2" FEET: 3 1/4" - 3 3/4"

  
  3  Then another nice request came asking that I come up with something "boyish" for the male babies instead of "girly gowns".  So back to Bev's website & a little googling.  Some packages include
     a onesie, hat, booties & blanket
  or
     a Diaper Cover ("Ruffled Diaper Cover" -- minus the ruffle of course for boys) from AuntB's site at yahoo.com), a shirt (from Bev's site), booties & blanket. (Head of preinatal unit sent diaper cover she wanted used as pattern, which was just about like Aunt B's)
  
  BOTH of these were readily accepted by the nurses.  I tried a "jumpsuit" pattern found on the internet, but they were too hard for the nurses to dress the babies in.  I made two, but they used only one.
  
  4  REMEMBER, preemies are "fragile" and difficult to dress while alive, or for burial.  All burial items should be open in the back.  (You can attach ties or buttons)  For burial items, make them "pretty" -- I use small silk roses on center neckline & hat for little girls; found "sequins" shaped for babies (rocking horse, bear, rattle, etc) in Wal-Mart Craft dept in pink, white, & blue. Look for "baby shaped buttons" or miniature appliques.  Use white glue to put these on front of little boy shirts & caps.  You are "creating a memory" for the parents of this baby -- Make it a memorable one.  Ties (around neck/chest) can be made of crocheted yarn chain, or 1/8" ribbon. [The  hospital I send sets to photographs the baby dressed in the outfit & gives the family the photo as a "remembrance"
  
     For booties, when doing the "cuff" leave an opening in front or back, so baby's foot will slide in easily. (After death, it is difficult to "bend" the baby's foot to put booties on.)  Tie will keep the bootie on.  (I usually start cuff at center back & work 1 row DC around edge; DO NOT JOIN; then ch 3 & go back around to center back, sl st down edge to foot part, fasten off & hide end) [Think of putting on a "high-top" shoe yourself --it's only easy to get on because it opens in the FRONT. If it didn't open somewhere, you'd never get it on]
  
  5  For burial pouches, requests are usually made to line with flannel.  I don't line the burial gowns or diaper covers.These preemies are buried with a preemie diaper.  To cover that for a little girl set, you may want to make a diaper cover to include for under the burial gown.

(Bev's Note:  I checked with several people who make gowns, or who work in Infant ICU's and they DO like the gowns lined as well as the pouches, if you can see your hand through the crochet or knit.  Premature babies have delicate skin, and they sometimes secrete body fluids and do need to have a flannel or nylon lining at least in the skirt part.)
  
  Use soft yarn (baby or baby sport) when possible.  Using a regular 4-ply or "bulky" yarn simply makes the baby look "smaller" than it really is. 
  
  I use the same two or three patterns, but switch between baby & sport yarn, and a c/d/e hook to change sizes of what I make.
