Volunteer Services and Lap Robes

Liz Capoferri, Supervisor of Volunteer Services at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital , came to our June meeting to ask members if they would like to make "Lap Robes".

Lap Robes are usually 36" x 36" and can be knitted or crocheted. Do not add fringe because they can get caught up in wheelchairs. Here are few links that may help you with ideas and patterns.

Lap Robes offer a touch of home to a patient's room and are source of comfort to them. There are no deadlines. Completed lab robes can be dropped off at the Library. I will contact Liz to arrange for a pickup.
