Are you looking for a Micro Preemie Crochet Cap pattern using double crochet stitches?
Love making these little hats. Keeps me out of trouble.
Question my gauge is off I think, I get the 3.5 ” tall but I don’t get the 4.5″ wide unless I stretch it a bit. Is that the correct way to measure the gauge? Used 5.5 hook and worstedbwrihhtb #4
Hi Marie, I spoke with Mistie and her charity would be grateful for the hats. Here is her information: http://americancrochet.com/crafting-a-rainbow-of-hope-community/ You can send her a message on her site if you prefer via her contact form too. Wishing you the best, Rhondda
Hi Marie, I’m contacting a couple people who I know collect hats for charities. I will let you know who to contact soon 🙂 Thank you, Rhondda
Have crochet lots of hats from preemie to adult, would like to send them to a charity that could use them–any ideas? The hospitals are full of items until mid summer. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
