This pattern is knitted in the round on DPNs and, if you're comfortable using them, the hat is a fast knit (with no seams to sew at the end!)
There's no need to worry about gauge as premature babies are all different; whatever your gauge, your finished hat will fit an angel.
Materials:
Baby DK yarn (in your choice of colour)
1 set 4mm DPNs
Yarn needle
Directions:
Cast on 36 sts, place 12sts on each needle.
Join the round, being careful not to twist the stitches as you do. You can, if you wish, place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round but I just use the tail from casting on as a marker.
Round 1: (K1, P1) around
Repeat this pattern until piece measures just over 1cm (1/2")
Next round: Knit all stitches
Repeat this pattern until piece measures 5cm (2")
Next round: (K2, K2tog) around
Next round: Knit all stitches
Next round: (K1, K2tog) around
Next round: (K2tog) around
Next round: K1, K2tog around
Cut yarn leaving a 15cm tail. Thread tail through yarn needle, slip remaining stitches onto it, then pull tightly. Weave in ends.
