#4 worsted weight (approx. 160 yards) — I used Hobby Lobby Baby Bee Stork Struck in Puppy Kisses
To substitute:
This pattern calls for worsted weight #4 yarn. When substituting, reach for a soft, baby-friendly worsted weight yarn — because the lovey rests against a newborn’s delicate skin, the gentler the better. Look for yarns labeled “baby” or “soft,” and machine-washable for easy care. Always check your NICU or charity’s guidelines — many have specific fiber, color, and washing requirements for donated items.
