The first is a pattern from the Akron Children's Hospital for booties and hat.

It calls for Baby yarn - plain, pastel only - and has no fuzzy yarns in bold and underlined. Well, I've got Bernat Baby Jacquards that is begging to be used. So, that's what I'm going with. I've done several hats with a ruffle and lots of pink. So, this is Blues and Greens called "I'm a Big Boy". Since I actually have some big boys, including one teenager, I'm thinking it still needs to be a pretty little big boy to wear this color.
In the past, a lot of my hats have gone without being worn because the intended "victim" wasn't pleased with the color choice.
So, here goes.

It's a place to start.

Preemie Knits
Maybe this is my "calling". I'm going to make preemie baby knits.More Later
I've made several from the pattern on Bernat Baby Jacquards titled "Ruffle Hat". It's a top down pattern and so to make smaller sizes, I just increased on fewer rows. Photos when I can get to them. Several were made from one skein of pink and blue stripe with pink, blue, yellow and white patterning. I was using US size 3 double points, instead of the US 6 that the ball band calls for. I think they came out wonderful and soft.
