How to Crochet a Preemie Hat

I love to crochet. I have never crocheted a preemie hat but one day, I decided to try because I had some leftover yarn. The leftover yarn wasn't long enough for a big project but it was perfect for a small hat. One evening, I sat down with a cup of coffee and just crocheted until I ran out of yarn. These hats are great if you know someone who has a preemie baby or just to donate them.

I am grateful that my grandmother taught me how to crochet. She taught me the basics and I learned the rest by watching YouTube videos. It's amazing how much you can learn by watching videos on YouTube.

I am not good at writing out patterns. So if this is not easy please let me know.
