This preemie baby cap makes up quickly. Many hospital neonatal ICUs are happy to get preemie caps made from a soft yarn. There is more need for the larger sizes.

Suggested yarns: TLC Baby, Bernat Softee Baby, Red Heart Baby Econo or Baby Sport, Lion Brand Jamie Baby, Caron Cuddlesoft - some of these are discontinued. You can use DK weight, but caps will be larger.
