Nicu Super Hero Capes

Strong little fighters

About

Every year I crochet theme hat for the babies in the nicu but this year I wanted to make them their first costume so I crocheted baby super hero capes small enough to cover their tiny bodies but not too big to overwhelm them. I left them blank this way their families can decorate them however they like.

    So they know it doesn’t have to be all that bad in the nicu during the holidays.
