I knit for charity and they are looking for 5x5 inch blankets, I have made one that is about 10x10 inches. Anyway these are for babies that are preemies (like 20 weeks) and they want matching hats. I am making this pattern,https://crazyhands.net/preemie-knit-hat-pattern/ and it says to knit until piece measures 9 cm, I am afraid this might be too big for such a small baby- do you think 4-5 cm for height would be okay?
Preemie Hat
That’s such a wonderful gift for preemies and their families.
Your pattern is 9cm before the shaping so it’s going to be taller with the decrease rounds added in. Probably for a larger size preemie.
These numbers vary all over the place depending on the weight of the preemie (~overall height 8-12cm). Whatever size you make will likely fit some baby. If it’s too long, the brim can probably be turned up.
