GAUGE:

6 stitches to an inch [2.5 cm] over Pattern Stitch. 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 Jennifer Wieckowski on 2009-01-10 *****
I LOVE this preemie hat. It is the cutest pattern. I just learned to knit last month. I have only made 2 scarfs and a dishcloth and this hat was so easy, I finished it in one day! Great for babies in the NICU! My baby was 1 pound 10 ounces and the medium size hat fit him perfectly.
