Premature Baby Rib Hat
This sweet little knitting pattern is for a tiny premature baby to newborn hat in 4 different sizes, using wonderfully soft 4ply (UK) knitting yarn. I created it because I wanted to make tiny baby clothes that were practical as well as beautiful for premature babies. The yarn is machine washable acrylic and the fabric is a stretchy rib (the border can be turned up to make for the perfect fit for baby) and features a delicate little lace cast off. The hats are knitted in the round using 3mm double pointed needles so there are no bumpy seams that could irritate delicate skin.
This design uses 4 ply (UK) yarn which is really soft to the skin as well as machine washable. 3mm dpns are required. It is written using English terms.
Sizes:
1½lb – 2lb baby; circumference 8½”
2lb – 4lb baby; circumference 10”
4lb – 6lb; circumference 12”
6lb – 8lb; circumference 14”
It would make a lovely set to donate to your local NICU unit.
