  I use this site a lot for sizing. http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/size-chart.html She also has a lot of other great information on her site. I'd use any sort of baby soft yarn, preferably a cotton.

  *looking... looking...*

  OMG I went to look at that tutorial and clicked around a bit.... The little girl that the tutorial author was making hats for passed away.  Sweet little baby.

  Thanks Lacey! That's exactly what I needed.   Now the "hard" part, deciding what yarn to use (and figuring out where I stashed all my dpns, I haven't knit a thing in 3yrs).

  Thanks for the sock tip, too, mah. I don't sew, but I think if I got some of these prepped I could talk my mom into sewing them up.

  They're very easy. Since I last posted ^^^ up there I went to Target and made 10 of them!

  I know, I saw that, too.  Did you see that they are expecting again?  

  The hats would also be good for dolls. They're definitely quick and easy to make.
