Preemie cap knitting pattern below

"3 knitting hat patterns"

Are you looking for a preemie cap knitting pattern? I hope so because I have a pattern for each of the hand knitting, machine knitting and loom knitting cap patterns.

There is a great need for these caps in the neonatal units at the hospital. These babies lose body heat very fast and especially through their heads.

Naturally nobody is prepared for these babies to be born so early so there are no clothes ready for them. Emma was so small her head was the size of a small apple.

I am going to give you the preemie cap knitting pattern for these tiny babies.  They are so quick and easy to make.

I taught my granddaughter how to knit a preemie cap when she was just 9 years old. It was the first thing my granddaughter learned to knit on the knitting loom. She was so proud of her little hat and we now have some sweet memories from that.

She is now sixteen and naturally doesn’t spend the time with us that she use to. But we will always remember knitting and being together working our projects.
