Preemie Newborn Gabrielle Hat Crochet Pattern

   This was the first hat I ever designed! I remember sitting on the couch making each of the sizes very carefully. After that adding the flower to bring a little added something.
   The Preemie/Newborn Flower Hat Pattern is made using worsted weight yarn and a G-6 (4.00 mm) crochet hook. Oops! Don't forget the 1″ button for the added cuteness in the middle of the flower. If you don't want to use worsted weight yarn, then you can also customize it with these other patterns I made for this purpose. This specific hat also has post ribbing to add texture to this design. I would love to see what y'all come up with!

    Thank you for providing this to us. I am a volunteer for a hospital, making preemie hats and these help so much. Between yarn and instructions, it does get expensive. We get so many compliments on the hats! Again, thank you!
