Final Round for Brim
Ch 2, dc into front post of
the dc below, then dc into back post of the next dc below. Keep
alternatiion
fp and bp around. Join.
You can add a pompom and
a
ribbon woven through the brim row, or leave the hat bare. Both
look
cute!
You can also vary the size
of preemie hat just by using the f hook with the newborn instructions,
or doing fewer sts at the top, adding more sts to make it larger.
Play around with this and have fun.
