Congratulations! You've now completed Susan's Simple Baby Hat & Flowers. This delicate and adorable set is perfect for keeping your precious preemie or newborn warm and stylish.

**Tips:**

* For a preemie hat, use a smaller hook size and make fewer rows. For example, you could use a size G (4.00mm) hook and make only 12 rows. * You can use any type of yarn you like for this set. For example, you could use a soft cotton yarn for a summer hat or a warm wool yarn for a winter hat. * You can also customize the set by adding embellishments such as beads, sequins, or ribbons.
