Simple Double Crochet Hat For A Preemie

This Is a really basic hat pattern and my personal favorite to make. You can give these away as gifts or even donate these preemie hats to a local hospital! To make this hat I used a 6.00 MM crochet hook (You can pick these up at almost any craft store I bought mine and it is perfect you can also pick up some yarn there) I hope you guys like this! 😉
