This is a soothing, beginner-friendly preemie blanket crochet pattern. The Lullabies Blanket is designed to meet the donation requirements of the Joan Schick Blanket Project, an organization that distributes handmade blankets to neonatal intensive care units in New Jersey. (Both the Large Preemie and Baby Blanket sizes meet the donation requirements.)
