I am calling this one Chunky-Like even though it uses worsted weight yarn, because on a preemie baby, worsted weight is going to appear large and chunky. I do not suggest using #5 chunky/bulky yarn for preemie hats. You'll also want to make sure you find a soft acrylic or cotton blend - do not use wool. Choose something that you know can withstand being machine washed and dried multiple times, because it most likely will be.

Cuddly Cloud Preemie Baby Blanket
Kids and Babies
The Cuddly Cloud baby blanket is a free pattern designed for preemie babies. The blanket uses a combination of stitch patterns to add texture while still being soft and classic in style. If you'd like to donate your blanket, choose a soft DK weight yarn that meets the requirements of your preferred charity. Adjust the width and length if you'd like to make a larger blanket. This can be a one skein project if you use Bernat Softee Baby or another dk weight yarn that comes in skeins of 350 or more yards.
Little Sprout Preemie Blanket

"Many hospitals will accept preemie blankets for keeping babies born prematurely. It will help keep them warm while adding a sense of comfort from something that is made with love. This preemie blanket pattern uses the same stitch combo that the Little Sprout bonding squares uses so you can make sets. Check with your local NICU department to see if they are accepting preemie blankets for their babies and what their specific regulations might be. "

The size given here is for a preemie blanket, but you can easily adjsut the size in the multiple provided. Choose any yarn and hook size and make this for any room in your home.
