When our sweet baby girl was born, she was dressed in a beautiful crocheted dress with a matching hat and booties.  It made me wish that I could crochet.  Maybe one of these days I’ll pick up a crochet hook and give it a whirl (starting small, with a hat!), but in the meantime, here is a list of sites with patterns for crocheted gowns and hats.  We seldom have many crocheted items donated, but they are just so beautiful that I wish there were more.
