The Shetland Baby Hat is a great way to practice stranded colorwork, with a super simple colorwork chart and floats of no more than five stitches long. The green-teal yarn is striking against the muted gray, and the colors are neutral enough to fit a baby of any gender. The preemie size is pictured; a simple pattern like this is perfect to keep mothers with premature babies busy during their time in the hospital.

This hat uses less than one skein of each color, so you could easily squeeze a few hats out of your two skeins.
