Preemie Newborn Double Pom Pom Hat Crochet Pattern
Isn’t this a cute Preemie/Newborn Double Pom Pom Hats? I don’t know why, but I always love the double pom pom hats. Anyways, I know it’s blue for a boy, but all you have to do is change the color to pink for a girl. I also think it is very appropriate for New Years!

Make 2 pom poms. (Here is a link to a tutorial to make a pom pom from Mom On Timeout.) I just used a medium pom pom maker. Attach pom poms toward the top, slightly to the side of the hat.
