Read my blogto learn how this baby transpired.
FO - finished preemie hat
Oh my, that’s so precious! 
Seriously, I think that it the most adorable hat I have ever seen. The color, the style, the size everything.
Thanks! It fits on a small naval orange so it’s pretty tiny. 
Absolutely precious!
A couple people asked where I got the pattern. Other than looking at a baby pattern to see how many to CO I made it up. Here it is if anyone wants it.
[b]CO 70 stitches on size 3 needles and knit about 1.5 inches or so then switched to size 4. I’m not sure that made any difference though.
Knit for about 4 inches measured from CO row. Switch to DPNs or whatever method you like for small diameter knitting.
Start decreasing :
k8, k2tog
Knit 2 rows even
k7, k2tog
Knit 2 rows even
k6, k2tog
Knit 1 row even
k5, k2tog
Knit 1 row even
k4, k2tog
knit 1 row
Continue decrease rows in pattern now and when you are down to about 8 stitches cut yarn and pull through loops twice and weave in.[/b]
That’s so adorable!
What a sweet hat!
that really is so precious I love it!
Jan, that is sooo precious.
Is it in worsted weight or sport?
It’s baby yarn… Okay here is what the tag says:
Cascade Yarn - Cherub Collection
50gms 240 yards 4 ply
Weird it doesn’t say anything about needle size or gauge. :?? It feels and looks like baby yarn and isn’t as fine as sock yarn.
Cool thanks, Jan.
how sweet! It looks so soft!
That is such a cute little hat! Love it!
sweeeeeeeeet!!!
Too, too CUTE!
How sweet!
