Preemie Hat Project

Welcome to my new site. I have started a new project, making hats, blankets and some clothing for the Preemies in the NICU. They are in need of hats to keep their body heat in, blankets to help the parents feel more comfortable with this tiny person that is here too early, and clothing that is made in their hard to find sizes. All the patterns are designed by me. If you like them and use them frequently, enter a donation. All money will be used on the babies. Thank you for visiting.

Pink Preemie Hat

Wait no longer. Here is today's pattern. It is an easy pattern done with Caron Cuddle Soft Yarn, pink pompador, size G Hook, some white pompador yarn.

Fpdc - Front post double crochet

Row 1: Ch 6, join to form circle. Ch 3, 15 dc in circle hiding tail of yarn. Join to top of ch 3.

Row 2: Ch 3. *Dc, Ch 1, dc in next st, 1 dc in next st* Repeat around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3.

Row 3 to 8: Ch 3. *Skip next st, 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc in next st, skip next st, 1 fpdc in next* around. End with fpdc, join to top of ch 3. 8 pattern spaces, 8 fpdc.

Row 9: Change to contrasting color. Ch 1, *sc in same space, sc in each dc to ch 1 space. Put sc, ch 1, sc in ch 1 space.* Join and hide ends.

Like I said, this is an easy pattern. Using larger yarn will make hat bigger. Have fun. Remember if you want to send me hats for the babies, let me know.

Have a good one.....Nan
