Most of the hats I've been making for The Preemie Project lately have been simple and basic (like the blue one and the multi-color one). That's because I can finish these quickly and therefore have more to donate. Sometimes though, I need a change of pace, so I searched my patterns and made the pink one that was designed by Libby. It's still a quick hat to knit and it turns out so cute! I need to make this one more often.
Pattern: Mock Rib and Eyelet Preemie Hat
Yarn: Bernat Softee Baby
Needles: US 5 DPNS
Size: I used the instructions for the Large Preemie size, but mine ended up one size smaller--Circumference 10"-11" for a 3-5 pound baby
I love this pattern! I used it for my very first preemie project donations. I also crocheted a little flower that I attached to top. You can see pics here http://cvenppdonations.blogspot.com/2006/01/white-cabled-hats.html
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful hat!
ReplyDeleteCute hats. I'm always so inspired by all your donations. Hopefully, I can find some time to get more done.
ReplyDeleteI think I can, I think I can, I think I can do the mock cable! It's my sweater! How cool! They are cute and inspiring as always.
ReplyDeleteI just love these hats, they're so gorgeous, especially the pink one with that great pattern!
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted to Libby's hat pattern! I've made 5 this month, with Michelle's easy booties to match! Fortunately I ran out of yarn, and had to move on to something else, or I'd be sitting in my room just knitting them over and over. Now, to blog them...

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I *almost* knit that one today! I knit the Lacy Hat instead - like the ones you made here: http://woolwindings.blogspot.com/2005/06/little-lace.html I think I'll knit the Mock Rib & Eyelet one next! :o)
