7 Shells Premmie Beanie, free pattern

Here is a pattern for a premmie beanie that measures about 9.5cm across, which might be on the small side and is for the very tiniest of premmie babies. If you use a 3.5mm hook it turns out a little bigger. This pattern is like my Tiny Shells premmie hat pattern, but a bit easier with 2 increasing rounds of dc instead of the hdc shells. This is in US terms, please let me know if you need this in UK terms and I'll write it out.
