KNITTERS in Yate have been making special care baby bonnets for Bath Royal United Hospital.
The craft group, who all attend Cambrian Green Day Services dementia centre, set to work after the hospital appealed for volunteer knitters.
The tiny bobble hats have a traffic light system of green, amber and red pom-poms to help ensure that newborn babies receive the individual care they need.
A green bobble shows that the baby is term, warm and feeding well. An amber bobble means a baby needs a little more help with feeding and keeping warm, and a red bobble indicates a baby needs regular observations by a nurse or midwife.
RUH launched an appeal in October 2017 for people to help knit around 5,000 tiny bobble hats for babies at the Bath Birthing Centre.
With Yate's contribution, and many more from elsewhere, the hospital has now reached its target.
