The need for preemie blankets is ongoing. Central Illinois goes through about 40-50 each month. Here are directions to make one:1. Choose fleece that is in kid-friendly patterns (no solids). It's important that the fleece not be predominately green or yellow in color because it's difficult to assess the baby's skin color when they're laying or wrapped in green or yellow. Watch for sales to get fleece at a good price.
2. Take a 1 yard piece of fleece (36" x 55-60" wide) and cut it in half making 2 blankets that are approximately 36" x 30".
3. Serge around the edge. It needs to be smooth, neat serging and the corners can be rounded.
That's all there is to it!
