This CROWN was made for Miss Sophia, a micro preemie who was born at 26 weeks, 2 pounds, 3 oz, 15.5” long.

She has most of the tubes and machines off of her now, and her momma, who visits her daily in NICU, has been putting bows and headbands on her.

I decided it was time she had a crown to show all those other babies who is the Queen of the NICU.

The crown is attached to a rubber band at the back so it can stretch as the baby grows.

100% of the purchase price for the pattern goes to Natalie’s Second Chance Dog Shelter, a no-kill dog shelter in my home state of Indiana. It is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization.
