Textured Beanie – Sizes Preemie to 6-12 Months

Textured Beanie - Sizes Preemie to 6-12 Months www.thestitchinmommy.com

I recently had the opportunity to participate in the 2014 NICU Challenge over at Sunset Crochet and I created this adorable Textured Preemie Beanie especially for the challenge! Since then, I’ve decided to add a few sizes since I think it would be a cute hat for any baby. Just a note, I make most of my hats in cotton yarn so the texture shows up a little better than if you were to use acrylic or wool. Happy crocheting!

Notes:

  • This pattern is written in US terms.
  • Sizing will vary depending on how tightly or loosely you crochet. If you would like to keep the sizing the same, please check your gauge before starting this project.
  • This hat is worked in a continuous round. Do not join unless otherwise noted in the pattern. This is where the use of a stitch marker will come in handy. Place the stitch marker on the end of each round to mark your last stitch.
  • For the textured look, work the hat on the wrong side after Round 1. Alternately, you can work the hat on the right side and just turn it over before you start the post stitches.
  • All stitches are worked through both stitches unless otherwise noted.
  • Sizing will differ based on how tightly or loosely you crochet. Please check your gauge before beginning this pattern.
