Little Darling Preemie Hat

Little Darling Preemie Hat By Ro C.

You can see the difference in size between the "Littlest Angels" hat and the Little Darling. Even though the patterns are very similiar, the Little Darling was made using Bernat Cotton Tots yarn, making it warmer and thicker than the previous hat for preemies still in the NICU. The hat pictured measures 9/12 inches around and 3 inches in height.
