Yarn Knot Alone Muscat
Crochet Hat - NICU
(small and medium)
The main focus is on achieving the correct crown diameter and then length. Given that many people have different tension and as such achieve the sizes at different points we are giving a guide on how to achieve the desired result HOWEVER we encourage you to work out how many rows you will need to reach the target measurements.
Hook size 5
Yarn - for the NICU project the yarn must be acrylic for easy wash and wear. We have identified Alize Happy Baby and Nako Sateen as the softest available in Muscat.
