Advise

Hi all I'm looking for a little bit of advise if you wouldn't mind.

So my friends baby is in the NICU extremely poorly had blood removal and transfusions the lot.. he may need organ transplants..

I want to make him a bundle of bits as the NICU he's in do not give blankets just hats..

So my list of to do is : bonding squares ( where mum has one baby has one they cuddle and switch so both smell eachother )

Octopus with curly tentacles to replicate the cord.

A blanket

A bundle of hats

And some cardigans

Now heres my pickle a cardigan normally I'd crochet them and I'm going to but I'd love to do one on the machine. Hes so tiny so my 48 would be to big and 40 I don't have a 32 so next best thing is a 22 pin

Can I get some help with how I can construct a pattern for such a Diddy cardigan please 🙏 my thinking is I'd do two longer tubes each side then one slightly shorter down the middle at the back mattress stitch together and then 22 pin for the sleeves I have no clue on length etc also so this will be a guessing project also. But does what I'm saying and getting at sound correct to you? What would you do if you were making one if you're happy to share technique etc ?

Thanks so much for any imput

And please if you can, Pray for sweet Reggie he needs all the prayers he can get.
