Please link to the main page at Becky's Touch of Crochet TINY KNITTED PREEMIE HAT This idea did not originate with me. I first saw it on an episode of "The Carol Duvall Show" on HGTV. Carol says a viewer in the 70's sent her the pattern and she converted it from a knitted ball to an easy knitted hat. I used her concept to make what I think is a perfect hat for tiny premature babies. Becky R. 6-May-99 Materials: Acrylic Baby Fingering Yarn and size 3 knitting needles Cast on 28 stitches. Row 1: Knit all 28 stitches, turn. Row 2: Knit to within 8 stitches of the end (you'll knit 20 stitches), turn work and knit back to beginning of row. Turn. Row 3: Knit to within 6 stitches of the end (you'll knit 22 stitches), turn work and knit back to beginning of row. Turn. Row 4: Knit to within 4 stitches of the end (you'll knit 24 stitches), turn work and knit back to beginning of row. Turn. Row 5: Knit to within 2 stitches of the end (you'll knit 26 stitches), turn work and knit back to beginning of row. Turn. Row 6: Knit all 28 stitches, turn work. Repeat Rows 1-6 of the pattern 9 times for a total of 10 sections. Cast off leaving a long tail of yarn. Fold knitted piece in half and sew the two sides together to 0form the hat. Be sure to run yarn through stitches at top of hat to close .  If a bigger preemie hat is wanted then use baby yarn and size 6 needles. Knit a total of 11 sections. Also, casting on a few more stitches will give a longer hat for turning up into a wider brim. Petals and lace graphics and design Copyright 1998 © Maggie and © ÐØÑÑÃ'§ RËTRËÅT. |
