And in case anyone wants to know, you can get your own doll at Target or Wal*mart in the toy section. Just remember to bring your tape measurer so you know what size preemie (baby doll) you have. Another thing you can remember is that small preemies are born with heads about the size of an apple or orange, so if you don't want to buy a doll you can just buy fresh fruit instead!
Yarn: Soft Baby Solid by Red Heart
Hook: J/10-6.00mm
Notes:
- I made this with 2 strands held together.
- Finished hat should fit a 1 pound to 3 pound preemie.
- Repeats are from * to *.
Pattern:
Ch 2
sc 6 st into first ch, connect.
ch 1, *sc 2 into next st, sc* connect.
ch 1, *sc, sc 2 into next st, sc* connect.
ch 1, *sc, sc, sc 2 into next st, sc* connect.
continue with pattern adding sc's until you have 11 rows (36 stitches).
ch 1, *sc, sc, sc 2 st tog, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc 2 into next st, sc, sc* connect.
repeat this for 8 rows.
CTM: Thank you for the correction! I have added the 2 stitches needed in red! I no longer have the hat so I think I got them added correctly.

I love your doll model, lol. I never have a model when I need one. Love the hat too

I have a few questions. so when you connect that's a slip stitch? and how many time do you repeat each * and then do you repeat that whole 3 line sequence? sorry for the questions, I'm a bit of a beginner, but think the hat's adorable and would love to make some.
the hat is made from the top down so you need to make more stitches.
I do use a slip stitch but know people that use other stitches for the connect.
the repeat (*'s) is made 3 times (it makes the points).
Hi, MamaMay. Thank you so much for this wonderful pattern. I am in the middle of making one and I am a little confused. After the first 11 rows you are left with 36 sts. Ok, so then when you go on to make the next row it only has 10 sts in it:
"ch 1, *sc, sc, sc 2 st tog, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc 2 into next st, sc* connect."
I know you are to repeat these 10 sts three times, but that only makes 30 sts. Still 6 short. I am not sure what I am supposed to do here. I would really appreciate your help and again thank you SO much for this adorable pattern.
Respectfully,
Tiffany
