The Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) is in need of handmade knitted or crocheted nests for orphaned and injured baby birds and small mammals in their care.
The sizes they need are 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch diameters for the nests. They should be made with tight stitches, a soft but sturdy construction, and machine-washable materials such as acrylic or cotton yarn. Here’s an instruction guide.
Please avoid fuzzy yarns, large holes, decorations, or anything that could snag tiny claws or toes. These nests help provide warmth, comfort, and support for vulnerable wildlife during rehabilitation.
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. Donations may be delivered to CROW Visitor Education Center, 3883 Sanibel Captiva Road, Sanibel, FL 33957, or mailed to CROW, P.O. Box 150, Sanibel, FL 33957. For more information, please contact Pam at (239) 472-3644, ext. 229.
Yes a pattern would really help us help you!
Just wanting to verify the sizes needed, as the one in the picture is MUCH smaller than the requested sizes. Also, how tall do you need the sides to be? Just want to verify before making/sending a bunch!!
Do you have a simple pattern you prefer?
Oy…..
