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.

This is a fun and easy baby sweater. It uses the basic granny square as its building block. If you can double crochet, single crochet, slip stitch and basic seaming you can make this baby sweater. It makes a great baby shower gift. Select your own colors and enjoy.
