The pictures do not do justice for these fantastic sweaters, hats and booties knitted by the Grand-Saconnex Club de Tricot. Lucky Afghan babies who will receive them! Mothers who have attended antenatal care and delivered with a skilled birth attendant will be given a sweater as a gift to keep the baby warm. The choice of color combinations in these sweaters make them unique! They are truly gifts of love, bringing hope!

Lovely additions

There seems to be no limits to the imagination and use of colors in the baby sweaters. If the babies do not yet understand how beautiful the sweaters are, they will certainly feel the warmth that surrounds them, and their parents and siblings will be delighted.

Automn harvest of sweaters for Afghan babies

Like the full harvest is received only if the seeds have been sown, so it is with the sweaters: each little stitch is like a seed, which grows to be a full sweater!!
