Here is a really easy hat pattern from the top of my head! WANNA TRY? It takes like 5 min lolol First a few hints!! A baby's head can come in many sizes a preemies head can be as small as a lemon/lime or the size of a grapefruit! So if you have nothing to size your hat, use fruit lolol My son Gabe was premature well his foot was 1 inch long, so making booties if you ever feel "no this would be to small" you would be suprised just how small a premature babies foot is.
So onto the pattern!! CO 36 Sts
Single Rib (K1, P1 across) Repeat this for 1 inch Then Stockenette st. (Knit 1 row, purl 1 row) for 2 1/2 inches (dec row)Then knit 2 tog across(on knit side) then,Purl across Repeat the Knit dec row then cut yarn leaving it long, put it on a yarn needle. Weave it through rem sts on needle. Pull sts off needle and pull up tight. Sew up side! You can add a pom, pom if you wish. That is optional. How cute and small is that. To make your hat different larger you can add 4 more sts on CO (inc by 4's)remembering to inc rows on your stockenette area so your hat does not end up larger around but not taller lololol
