Tiny preemie hat (Crocheted)

This is a little hat suitable for Upon Butterfly Wings...I love it because it's so quick to work up, which means more hats for tiny babies.

It's written in British Crochet terms, if you're used to using American terms, just substitute tr for DC (it's a fairly simply pattern)

Round 1: Ch3, sl st into 3rd chain from hook to form loop.
Round 2: Ch 2 (this is your first treble crochet), work 11 tr into loop, join round using sl st into your first tr. (12 st in round)
Round 3: Ch2, [tr in next st, 2 tr in next stitch] 6 times, join round using sl st into your first tr. (18st)
Round 4: Ch2, [tr in next 2 sts, 2 tr in next stitch] 6 times, join round using sl st into your first tr. (24st)
Round 5-7: Ch2, tr in each st around,  join round using sl st into your first tr. (24st)

Fasten off and sew in the ends.

If you're wanting a slightly bigger hat, you can add an extra increase round after Round 4 {Ch2, [tr in next 3 sts, 2 tr in next stitch] 6 times, join round using sl st into your first tr. (36st)}
