Gift this square (or preferably 2 squares) to a NICU family to help with bonding. Bonding squares are used for babies in the NICU. Mom is given 2 squares – mom wears one against her body and then every 12 hours or so she swaps them out. The smell will help baby bond to mom when they can’t physically touch each other yet.

This is basically a swatch of the Jasmine Stitch.
