Picture of hat in photo was made by Bev and it isn't perfect by any means!  I have a hard time keeping track when I have to count. It's close though.  I used Bernat Softee Baby yarn  (not fingering) and I used the 60 st pattern.  The hat turned out to be big enough for a large preemie (5 lber or so).
