I had three random skeins of Alpaca with a Twist in a purple, green and yellow. I purchased them a few years ago while in Maine, thinking that they would make something soft and cuddly for a baby.
Wrongly thinking this was a worsted weight yarn, I didn't make a gauge. The yarn is a DK weight, so the first baby hat - the green one - turned out to be the size of a medium-to-large preemie hat. So for the next two hats, I cast on 70 sts and knit a 1x1 rib before continuing with the hat. Same number of sts for the purple and yellow hats, but I was apparently more relaxed with the yellow hat because it turned out slightly larger than the purple hat. Funny how all that works. At any rate, I have three new hats for babies. That's a good thing.
Yes, that is a good thing! And babies don't all have the same size heads so you're in good shape. :)

I can imagine how soft they might be. Some blessed little babes will be comforted by them.

They even LOOK soft in the picture. Some little guy or girl is going to have such a comfy new hat. That's a good way to start your path in this world.
