Sweet Stripes Preemie Hat

My hook and I were having a little play yesterday. 

I have been making hats lately, and I wanted to make more - but I needed something to keep my interest ! 

These sweet little hats were the result! I had fun making them, and as they are for preemie babies they were quick to make.
