Butterfly Kisses Preemie Hat




This hat is worked using an H hook and a small amount of Caron Simply Soft Yarn.  The finished circumference is about 10" so you can adjust to a smaller or larger size by using a different sized hook or a lighter or heavier weight yarn.  Add any adornment that you wish, I chose a fabric and bead applique.  Whatever you choose make sure that you secure it well for safety reasons.

Note: This pattern is in done in American crochet terms.

Begin with a magic circle or chain 4 and join with a sl st to make a ring.  
 
Round 1: ch 1, work 8 hdc into your magic circle or starting ring.  Join with a sl st to your 1st hdc. Ch 1.  (8 hdc)
Round 2: work 2 hdc in each st around joining with a sl st to the 1st hdc. Ch 1.  (16 hdc) 
Round 3: work 1 hdc in the same st as the sl st. *2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next st.*  Repeat from * to * to end of round joining with a sl st to the first hdc.  Ch 1.  (24 hdc) 
Round 4: work 1 hdc in the same st as the sl st and in the next st.  *2 hdc in the next st, 1 hdc in the next 2 st.*  Repeat from * to * to end of the round joining to the first hdc with a sl st.  (32 hdc)
Round 5-8: Ch 3 (counts as first dc).  Work one dc in same st as ch 3.  2 dc in next st, skip 2dc.  *2 dc in next 2 st, skip 2 st.*  Repeat from * to * to end of the round joining with a sl st to top of the ch 3.  (32 dc)
Round 9-10: Ch 1.  Work 1 sc in each st around joining with sl st to the ch 1.  Finish off at the end of round 10.  

Weave in loose ends and attach adornment of your choice.
