Baby Hat Knitting Patterns

One of the more interesting facts about babies is that they come in all shapes and sizes, and because of this getting clothing to fit properly can be an issue at times. One solution to this dilemma is to make a few pretty hats from the various  free knitting patterns  that are available online - the number of patterns are seemingly endless and some of the designs are simply spectacular. One major benefit of using free knitting patterns for baby hats is that in most instances they can be altered to fit the exact dimensions of a given baby, by adding a few stitches here or removing a few stitches there.

Preemie Hat Knitting Patterns

A knitted preemie hat serves a much greater purpose than just making a new arrival look cute - they are an important way  to help baby retain precious body heat that can escape through their heads. the problem is that because every baby's head is shaped just a little bit differently and a preemie's head in particular is so small that finding a proper hat can be tough - especially if shopping in stores. The answer to this is to make your own, preferably from a free knitting pattern that can be altered a stitch here or there to fit a specific baby, and if the hat has the ability to stretch all the better. Here are a few free pattern that should prove of great use: Preemie Eyelet Hat - A beautiful knitted hat in just the right size, found at  http://www.p2designs.com/pdfs/ptn-HatEyelet.pdf Beanstock Preemie Hat - A wonderful pattern that offers great texture and a neat look, available at  http://knittinguptheroad.blogspot.com/2009/01/beanstalk-preemie-hat-pattern....
