The original program is Octopus for Preemies, however due to that fact that our NICU does not allow stuffing we have modified the pattern. We are trying to follow the guidelines they have put forth as they have done the research on the materials used. We will accept the approved yarn from their program however we have only listed the easy to find and most affordable yarns. Please when sending in our Jelly Buddies mail the yarn label wrap so we can easier identify what yarn you have used. If using the same same yarn you may just send one.

The link included will take you to the facebook page full of information about this project, which includes the file with the pattern.

PLEASE NOTE: this pattern is still being test knitted. If there are errors, please let me know. Also, these have not been approved by the NICU yet (the knitted ones) so please be aware.

Thank you to everyone willing to help out with our project!
