Tiny little knits

November is Prematurity Awareness Month. Not only is the month dedicated to education about the causes and risk factors associated with the birth, but reminding people of the struggles that premature infants often face as they continue to grow. In some cases these preemies often flourish in size and weight and it is routinely forgotten that they are still at-risk in their development. 

As part of our IBK monthly charity, long-time member Greg Cohoon, aka knittingdaddy shares his story and collects preemie hats for his local NICU, where Greg's daughter was born and where he has previously served on their board. 

I got an early start to my hats this month, using Greg's own pattern, Scrappy Sock Yarn Preemie Hat for most of the hats above. These little hats are perfect for using up the last bits of your DK yarn. Details for each hat and the additional pattern for the blue hat can be found on my Ravelry project page.
