Regardless of whether you make the bonding squares or washcloth version, this is a great unisex gift that is suitable for all ages!

As a bonding square this pattern is perfect to donate to a local charity / organisation / NICU / family with a preemie baby. It is especially useful to help parents bond with their babies while they cannot hold them. For this it is best to make this pattern in suitable 3 weight yarn with 4mm hook so that you get the drape and softness.

As a washcloth it is a great one! The bobbles are not too hard when made with 4 weight cotton and 5mm hook - in fact they are designed to almost ‘flatten’ for the bonding squares. But you will still get plenty of exfoliation and cleansing from these washcloths.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Easy beginner as it uses slip stitches, single crochets, half double crochets and treble crochets to create this gorgeous texture.
