I had no idea what to knit so I asked some people on this community for some help in this thread. Someone suggested I knit for charity, and look up what the charities want for inspiration. Actually found something that the rest of you might want to know about, especially since it comes with patterns! They’re for the 7 x 9 inch squares you can donate to the charity. Here’s the link to the patterns on the charity’s website. Charity is Warm Up America! I have no affiliation with them besides what I mentioned in this post.

Mods, let me know if this is too promotional and I’ll take it down.

EDIT: link to patterns is now broken, here's an archive.org link to the same place

I remember that thread, thanks for checking back in with us. And great find!

Worth noting that the finished items need to be shipped to the charity office so while I can't find anything that says US-only, it would be quite expensive to take part from overseas. Maybe this post will be the motivation some of us need to look for our local equivalent :)

I’m in the midlands UK and there’s a charity here that take granny squares. I think they’re called teddies for tragedies - they obviously take knitted and crocheted bears too.

Octopus for a preemie is in the UK as well as the US and Canada. You make crocheted or knitted octopi or jellyfish for NICU babies.
