Crocheting your own premature baby octopus

Bliss - free crochet pattern for a prem baby octopus from a leading charity

Bliss, the premature baby charity offers a selection of downloadable patterns to enable you to knit clothing, blankets and toys for premature babies including a premature baby octopus crochet pattern. Before you get started, please check with your local neonatal unit about what items they need.

Bliss’s premature baby crochet pattern is free to download, but if you use it, they hope that you’ll consider making a donation or support their work in other ways such as holding a cake sale as part of Bake for Bliss.

This helps Bliss ensure that premature and sick babies across the UK have the best possible chance of leading healthy, happy lives.

Where should I send my Bliss crochet premature baby octopus?
Before you start knitting, please contact your local neonatal unit to find out what items they require. Bliss ask you to send your completed knitting to the hospital directly, as they are best placed to put it to good use. Please don’t send your items to Bliss’s head office, as they will incur the cost of posting them on to neonatal units.
