2020. Very much an ongoing project, collection dates to aim for are at the bottom of the Home page. Thank you x
We were very pleased that Yorkhill came to us for help. It is a very sad project, but we are so glad to able to help families at this time. The idea is to make two 
identical teddies for babies who pass away in Yorkhill’s SCBU. The family can then give an Angel Ted to their baby and keep an identical one in their very precious keepsake box that the hospital provide. Yorkhill ask that Teds are made in white or soft pastel shades of pink and blue to match the blankets and pillow sets that also go into the boxes.

Huge thanks to Ninja for creating this patterm and to those who trialled it.
The crochet pattern for Angel Teds is here as a free Ravelry download.
If you prefer you can send Teds unstuffed and minus ribbons. We can do that, but PLEASE still sew up, just leave a hole and a long piece of wool to finish sewing after stuffing. Heartfelt thanks to all for your support.
