I'm on a roll with preemie hats this week. This cute watermelon hat is from Ann Norling Pattern #30, More Kids Caps. This pattern sheet features instructions for a basic rolled cap and six specific designs including watermelon, sunflower, crayons, lace, sport helmet, and checkerboard with stripes.
I made my watermelon hat smaller by casting on 56 stitches, which gave me a hat that will fit a 6-8 pound baby. The yarn used is Lion Brand Cotton-Ease (worsted weight) and the needles used are US 7 dpns. This hat is simple to make and you could come up with your own version easily without a pattern. I think the hardest part is deciding where to place the "seeds" and then being satisfied with the results. Maybe I should add just one more...
This set will be donated to The Preemie Project.
The pattern used for the booties is a variation of this one, of course.

ReplyDeleteAll of the hats and booties are cute, but these may be my favorite i wouldn't mind having a set of these my self in a larger size (I'm a big watermelon fan). I would love to see these modeled by some lucky baby. You are awesome with what you are doing.
