Yes, another hat..! Having the oddments of yarn from the ManU Hat lying around was just too irresistible. 
It only took an afternoon to whip up as well.
The pattern is the same one I usually make for the small people’s winter hats. I decided to knit the Preemie size as, based on the Yarn Standards head circumference chart, the average newborn baby has a 14″ (35.5cm) head circumference and the Preemie size measures 15″. It should also have a bit of stretch in it in case of giant headedness. Not sure where that leaves using the book to make hats for actual tiny babies, though, as they’d surely swim on them. *ponders*
Now it’s back to endless rows of Gull Stitch for the February Lady Sweater. I reckon I’m about two thirds of the way done with the lace now, so it’s just a case of sitting down with a good film and chocolate and a drink to hand and just knitting away for a couple of hours.
