  3. This pattern is amazing, and it came at the right time for Little H who is small but strong & I can't wait to gift these on to the family; I've so far knitted him 5 of your prem hats all in different sizes so as he grows he has another one there for him. Last thing a family with a prem baby needs to look around for hats to fit thank you for sharing these patterns.

    God Bless xx

  11. Brilliant and easy pattern for those precious little ones. During lockdown in the Covid pandemic I have knitted nearly 100 and will donate these to hospitals as soon as safe to do so. Also ideal for using up oddments of yarn after making sweaters and cardigans for my grand children.
