GAUGE:

30 St sts = 4 inches [10 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.

CAP
Cast on 72 stitches. Work 2 inches of K2, P2 ribbing, then work 2 ½ inches of stockinette stitch (or stitch of your choice-see below). Begin decreases: Row 1: K4, k2tog, across row. Rows 2,4,6 and 8: Purl. Row 3: K3, k2tog, across row.

Row 5: K2, k2tog, across row. Row 7: K2tog, across row.

Cut yarn long enough to sew back seam and run through stitches on needle, pull up tight and sew seam. Add pom-pom if desired.

Here are some variations for the plain part of the cap. For each one, adjust the number of stitches after the ribbing to the amount given for each particular pattern.

Garter Block - 75 stitches

Preemie Stocking Cap Reviewed by michelle brand on 2008-10-17 *****
I am a very, very unskilled knitter. I have tried many simple patterns that somehow I have messed up by the end. This hat was a very happy exception. I made 2 for a friend expecting twins. They were adorable, quick and easy.
