We present infrared observations of four young stellar objects using the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI). For three of the sources, T Tau, MWC 147 and SU Aur, the 2.2 micron emission is resolved at PTI's nominal fringe spacing of 4 milliarcsec (mas), while the emission region of AB Aur is over-resolved on this scale. We fit the observations with simple circumstellar material distributions and compare our data to the predictions of accretion disk models inferred from spectral energy distributions. We find that the infrared emission region is tenths of AU in size for T Tau and SU Aur and ~1 AU for MWC 147.
