4ply Ribbed Hat
Details from Knit for Peace - http://www.knitforpeace.org.uk/2011/12/20/knit-a-hat-for-a-premature-baby/
Ribbed hats are preferred as they fit most sizes of head and most bright colours apart from yellow are very popular with families. Yellow can make babies look jaundiced and is best avoided.
Ribbed Baby Hat for Premature Babies
4 ply yarn, 3.75mm (size 10) needles.
(1x50g ball will make about 4 hats)
Cast on 68 stitches, work in K2, P2 rib for 48 rows.
Shape crown, (K2 together, K2) to end of row.
Next and alternate rows, purl.
(K2 together, K1) to end of row.
(K2 together) to end of row.
Break off yarn leaving about 14 inches of yarn to sew up hat. Thread yarn through stitches on needle and stitch up seam of hat. Do not press as this will flatten the ribbing and make it less easy for the hat to ‘mould’ to the babies’ head and stay on.

The pattern is really easy to do - it's only a repeat of two rows and one of them is knit! So it's great for knitters of all abilities.
And it's a great way to use up small amounts of yarn left over from other projects.
