11. Ruth Preemie Beanie

Hello all and welcome to day 11.

Today's release is a sweet little hat that features front post stitches and shells. Combine together it adds great texture! The Ruth beanie will fit 30 weeks gestation and while I've only made solid ones so far, I'm sure would look just as great with alternating colours or even with just the last round in a contrasting colour.
