Free Pattern: Beanie with Crossed Texture Detail Row - Premie


Newborn size here.
3 month size here.
6 month size here.

Whipped up this simple premie hat and had to share.  I think the color change to a lighter color on the detail row makes the hat.

I'm saving up all these premie hats to give to a NICU someday. I have loved hearing from some of you who do this; anybody else make hats to donate?  How did you get connected to the hospital?

Free Pattern: Three-Flower Tie Headband


Here is #2 sporting the tie headband.  I saw a lacy tie headband on Pinterest, and I was inspired to make a baby-sized one for my girlies.  The tie works well for crochet, since the chain stitch isn't naturally stretchy.  It probably wouldn't work too well for a wiggly baby, but for my almost-two-year-old it worked out well.  She wore it for about half an hour and it didn't slip.
