Ideal Preemie Hat

This cozy and adorable knitting pattern is specifically designed for the NCIU preemie charity project, enabling knitters to create warm, snug hats for premature infants. The smallest size featured in the pattern photograph caters to babies weighing between 4-5 lbs, with a head circumference of 8 inches. For those seeking larger sizes, the pattern also accommodates a 12-inch head, suitable for babies weighing 6 to 7 lbs.

You will be knitting in the round, which helps eliminate side seams and provides a smooth, comfortable fit for delicate little heads. This project not only keeps preemie babies warm but also works up quickly, making it an ideal choice for charity knitters looking to contribute to a worthy cause.

Please note: This pattern is intended purely for charity purposes. We kindly ask that you do not duplicate or distribute this pattern in print or as an electronic file for individual sale.

Join our community of generous knitters and help make a difference in the lives of preemie babies by creating these sweet hats. Happy knitting!
