These are the smallest sizes of hats requested by the charity Cherished Gowns for Angel Babies UK, who provide clothing for babies who are born sleeping or who pass away shortly after birth, for their final farewell.

The pattern is very simple, can be made in minutes and uses only a small amount of yarn.
