Each year approximately fifteen million babies are born preterm. In 2013, a group in Denmark started making tiny crocheted octopus with twisted tentacles which seem to mimic the umbilical cord. The result is calmer and more comfortable babies, with breathing being easier and a more regular heartbeat. The Octo Project is now in 25 countries around the world, offering help to premature babies and their family. I talked with Ditte Fischer, the leader of the Octo Project.
