For newborns, simply add 1 more increase row to the preemie pattern and/or increase your hook size.

I used H hook, 4 ply yarn and mistakenly hdc the first 3-4 rows and then switched to dc added a row prior to the color change.  Also, sc the finish.  

For the pix below, I followed the instructions exactly for the preemie size. Finished measures 5.5 " across base and 4.5 " ht - crown to base.  Way too small for my purposes.
