Infant Hats

General Guide for Sizing Baby Hats

Melissa & I received some feedback from the Nurse Managers in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) about sizing baby hats.

The Nurses have asked us to use very soft stretchy yarn or material for the hats.

You can use the size of a soft ball or a grapefruit as guides when making the hats to make sure that they fit the baby.
