GAUGE:
4 sc = 1 in. [2.5 cm] BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

So-Soft Preemie Hat Reviewed by Patty Silvey on 2013-03-29
I have made this about 15 times now in all the different sizes. If you want to have the cable effect in all sizes, be sure to end the last round on the crown of the hat with a multiple of "3". It is only the smallest size when following the pattern that gives you the cable. If you don't care about the overall look and simply follow the patters at the larger sizes you will achieve a different, but still lovely pattern and hat. Going back now to make more as they whip up fast!
