I felt like making a preemie beanie, after thinking about the hard time we had when our son was born very early, this is the pattern I made up to make it.

I now have another similar pattern called 7 shells preemie premmie beanie, its a little easier with 2 starting rounds of dc instead of the hdc. I hope this helps! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/7-shells-preemie-...
