You have read it wrong Cheryl. It is SIZE 3 in US sizing and the English is size 11.

Hope that is OK for you?

Thank you,i never know you could knit anything like it either.

I would not have known about them if it had not been for this forum. In fact it never occured to me that you would need them. I thought they would use the babys’ own clothes.
Just goes to show that we learn something new every day.

Yes it does.  My sister in laws baby died at 5 months gestation and I didn’t know these existed.  Although having said that I had not long lost my baby so perhaps its just that “I wasn’t told”.  For my sanity.
