Simple Stockinette beanie for preemie babies. I don’t like seeming up projects, especially not small projects. So the first criteria was that this needed to be done in the round.

My aunt, who worked in a NICU ward for years, stated that the softer the yarn, the better. Caron Simply Soft fit the bill in so many ways. #1 - it’s worsted weight, so works up so much quicker, #2 - it’s acrylic, which means it can stand up to the wash, #3 - it’s probably one of the softest acrylic yarns out there, #4 - the price point is extremely affordable, and #5 - the range of color options.

I hope you have fun with this project. The beanies work up super fast and it’s easy to make a ton of them to go with the season.

One skein of Caron’s Simply Soft will make about 15 - 17 beanies.
