In Memory of Sophie Sheppard

My friend Laura and her husband Rob recently held a memorial service for their beloved daughter, Sophie. She spent only two days here on earth before going home to heaven.

Laura has decided to begin crocheting newborn and preemie hats to donate to the hospital where Sophie stayed. She said they were simply wonderful there, and she wants to help spread Sophie's love to other babies in some small way.

She asked me to join her on this project, and I have happily agreed. She found this pattern, and it looks like an easy project:

I will be donating whatever caps I make to the hospital where my daughters were born. I also agreed to pass the idea on to everyone I knew. I know that not everyone crochets, and not everyone has extra time, but feel free to forward this to anyone who you think might want to participate.
