Pattern is for an adorable crochet beanie hat with bear ears for a premature baby, including a detailed walk through on how to make and attach the bear ears. This hat will be too small for most newborns.

Hat will be cute in any color! Make sure to use yarn that is labelled as “soft” or “baby yarn” for sensitive preemie skin - “value” yarns will be too rough.

Pattern variation (last photo, but not shown in tutorial): attach the ears on the side instead of on the top to make it a monkey hat.
