    About

    I support a charity called Coco's foundation. Started by a local hair dresser, the foundation supports orphans & child headed families in South Africa.
    They provide;
    House based care for orphans without family or too young to form an independent household.
    nutritionally enhanced porridge for the children attending school,
    school uniform, since schooling is free but essential uniform isn't,
    childcare for younger siblings so the older children can attend school,
    Purpose built houses to provide a secure place for the families to live.
    My blanket was created to be used in a house sponsored by a friend in memory of her parents.
    The design is inspired by the Baby Bella jumper pattern available on Ravelry for free.
    I found the orange yarn, Red Heart Baby, very thin and doubled it up to get a better match to the weight of the other yarns used.
