I have been asked by my niece who is a first responder to share this post about some little hats that our local hospital needs.
I have been asked for a pattern so I have made one up for people to knit.
4mm needles
DK yarn
Small Premature Baby Hat - 7" circumference, 3.5" high
Cast on 36 stitches
Row 1 - Knit
Repeat this row 3 more times
Row 5 - knit to end of row
Row 6 - Purl to end of row
Repeat these two rows 6 more times
Decreasing the top of the hat
*K3, K2tog, repeat from * to last stitch
Purl to end of row
*K2, k2tog, repeat from * to last stitch, k1
Purl to end of row
*K1, k2tog, repeat from * to last stitch, k1
P2tog to end of row, p1
Cut the yarn leaving a tail
With a yarn needle, pull the yarn through the remaining stitches and secure
Sew up side seams and weave in all ends of yarn
Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you in advance if you help us with this charity knit
