This sweet little knitting pattern is for a tiny premature baby to newborn ribbed hat with mock cable brim, in 4 different sizes, using wonderfully soft 4ply (UK) knitting yarn. I created it because I wanted to make tiny baby clothes that were practical as well as beautiful for premature babies. The yarn is machine washable acrylic and the stretchy rib is perfect for staying on. The hats are knitted in the round using 3mm double pointed needles.

This design uses 4 ply (UK) yarn which is really soft to the skin as well as machine washable. It uses 3mm dpns. It is written in English using UK terms.

Sizes:
1 1/2lb - 8lb baby (4 sizes)
8 1/2 inches - 14 inches (4 sizes)

It would make a lovely set to donate to your local NICU unit.
