This pattern is also available for free on the Cre8tion Crochet blog.

This unisex crochet preemie hat is quick to make and very easy to work up. It is the perfect size for a premature infant. I have also included directions for full term newborns. Leave plain for a boy or add a pretty flower for a tiny baby girl.

I designed this crochet preemie hat for the NICU Crochet Challenge.
