I have made 3 hats for the preemie project so far. I haven't been following the guidelines very well--they mostly want pastels, which I find boooooring!
This is my favorite so far, and it is mostly complete. Even better--I wrote the pattern myself, which will be posted eventually.
I think this will look better with a small flower on top, but I don't have the right colors of scraps. It is made with cheap acrylic washable baby yarns, and I can probably make about 5-10 with 2 skeins of yarn.

Very cute! I'd love to be able to see this on a baby, but I don't know how you could swing that.
This is very cute! What a great pattern. I will definitely be putting it on my list of potential baby gifts to make. Thanks!
