Donate Your Knitting
Here at Premmie Knitting Club, every stitch is a gift of comfort, hope and kindness to families on a neonatal journey. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just picking up your needles for the first time, your handmade items support premature babies across Aotearoa.
Where do I post my knitting?
Please post your donations to our NZ Headquarters.

How does it work?
It’s simple! You knit hats, booties, blankets and garments especially designed for preemie babies (check out our pattern list for ideas), then send them to us.
Our amazing volunteers collect, sort and package your donations, making sure each one is delivered to a neonatal unit or hospital.
What happens next?
If you choose to send your items to one of Premmie Knitting Clubs drop-off points or our HQ, once your creations arrive, we’ll make sure they’re donated to a local hospital who needs them most.
Join our community
By donating your knitting, you’re joining a movement of kindness that stretches right across Aotearoa.

Donate directly to local hospitals
If your nearest drop-off location is a NICU or hospital, please ensure you only donate finished items like blankets or clothing.
Hospitals do not have capacity to sew up donated Peggy squares into blankets.
If you have Peggy squares, please have a look at our list of seperate drop-off locations listed here. This enables us to sew them up before sending to the hospitals. Or if you would like to directly drop-off to your hospital, please stitch together your Peggy squares first.
All direct hospital donations are not able to be included in our final tally unless you let us know what you have donated.
