Every year, 17th November is World Prematurity Day, raising awareness of babies born prematurely and their families. To celebrate this special day, and the special people involved, we have a new pattern for simple crocheted preemie beanies. The first sized beanie is tiny, for babies who are born very early, or ‘Angel Babies’, the next slightly bigger but still tiny.

It is a very simple pattern, worked in treble/double crochet throughout. So quick and easy, once you do one you’ll be hooked!
