Yarning to Help? Knitters/Crocheters to the Rescue.

Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital Knitter/Crocheter Project.

If you are a knitter/crocheter, would you consider making a shawl (or two)? Baby hats/booties? These shawls/hats/booties are given to patients of Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital. Patients may be from our UW Cancer Center in Wisconsin Rapids, the Dialysis Center or in our Family Birthplace. To assure that we keep a supply of these beautiful hand-crafted items on hand we need to keep knitting/crocheting.

Because these items are being given to patients receiving medical treatment there are a few criteria that need to be met: Items must be knit/crocheted in a non-smoking environment;

Items need to be made from machine washable and dryable yarn.

Rectangular shawls should measure approximately 24" by 60".

Triangular shawls should measure approximately 60" across the top.

Shawl must not be fringed.

Softer yarns are best for infant items.

Thank you for your help. This is a great way to show patients "We Care"
