28: Jordan Preemie Beanie

Good morning all and welcome to day 28!
Today's beanie was a really fun one to design, and something I don't do often enough! Mixing stitches! The Jordan beanie is sized to fit 38 week preemies. It features a variety of stitches, and when mixed with various coloured yarns it creates something pretty special indeed.
I haven't given any instructions on how many colours to use. That is your choice, and a part of the fun of a pattern like this!

The Jordan Beanie.
