Broken Checkerboard Bonding Square
This pattern is available as a
free Ravelry download
This bonding square design uses an easy knit and purl texture to create a simple but effective bonding square.
A bonding square, or more accurately a pair of bonding squares are a way for a premature baby and its parents to bond, by smell. Usually, premature babies aren’t able to be physically touched very often, which is one way that early bonds are formed.
The parents are given two identical squares, usually each measuring around 5” square. One square is kept with the baby, and one is kept on the parents. Roughly every 12 hours they are swapped over, fresh with parent and baby scents.
