Staff at Banner Estrella Medical Center contacted Knimble Kneedles about crocheting and knitting baby hats to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week. World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated every year in the first week of August, championed by WHO, UNICEF, Ministries of Health, and civil society partners around the globe. We provided 75 newborn hats that resembled breasts in various skin tone shades.
Knimble Kneedles supports newborns and preemies at Banner Estrella with monthly donations of handmade hats.
If you knit or crochet and would like to join Knimble Kneedles, we meet on Thursday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon in the Diamondback room of the Creative Arts Center.
