Bryli Hat - Free Crochet Pattern

Good morning lovely people. I am so glad to finally be back with some more preemie patterns.

This hat will fit from 22-24 weeks depending on tension and is very fast to whip up. One takes me about 30 minutes from start to finish. It looks great in all colours and would be incredibly easy to upsize. (In fact, Im working on Newborn sized instructions for one right now!) I hope you enjoy this little pattern. I love hearing from you all. Remember, you are more then welcome to share any pics of items made from my patterns on my Facebook Page
