There is nothing more rewarding

then crocheting for preemies. Bless

your local hospital by making a

bunch for their NICU!

Rnd 1: ch 1, 9 sc into ring (9sc)
Rnd 2: ch1, 2 sc into each sc (18sc)
Rnd 3: ch 1, * 1 sc in 1st st, 2 sc in next st* repeat from * around
(27sc)
Rnd 4-10: ch 2 (counts as 1st hdc), hdc in each st around (27 hdc)

NOTE: This hat can be longer or shorter by the amount of times
you repeat round 4. A standard hat size for a 3-4 lb preemie is 4” and
5-6lb is 4.5-5” so you can repeat row 4 until piece measures that long.

Ears:
Make 2
Ch 5, 5 dc in 3 rd ch from hook, sl st to last ch

Attach to hat where you would like . I like to put the bear ears right
where the stitch pattern changes from sc to hdc.
