Knitting and Crochet
There are loads of videos teaching you the main stitches used including variations for left handers. If you are trying out crochet for the first time make sure you know how to check if your pattern is in American or English notation.
A lot of maternity units need baby hats, and clothes so if you don’t know what to make you could try that. Make sure your items DO NOT have any holes in them or the unit won’t accept them. Many places are not accepting donations due to the coronavirus situation but you could still make them for when they begin to accept items again
Aldi sometimes have crochet kits for £3.99 that include everything you need to create a character
