Continue, using this pattern (2 double crochets in first stitch, then 1 double in next THREE stitches, etc.), until hat is the circumference you want.
Continue around until hat is the length you want.

Since it's a preemie hat, the pom pom is a lot smaller. I wrapped yarn around my index finger over 150 times. Trimming with scissors is how to get the ball smaller and tighter.

Noah's Ark

Here's the entire completed ark. You can't see the sheep that are down at the bottom. It was a bit repetitive crocheting after awhile...that's a lot of legs to make. That's why I stuck the pandas' heads coming out of the portholes. I just couldn't take the thought of making more legs!

Noah's Ark Giraffes

Sweet little giraffes to take my mind off of the jury selection process today that included a 28 page questionnaire.
