Love this hat pattern! Oh how I wish you would make a .pdf of this pattern. Would make it so much easier for KnitCompanion and making it over and over.

Hi,

Thank you for this lovely pattern. Can I ask what to do if I were to make this for a 4 month old baby?

Regards,
Karen

In reply to Joan. You will cast on 54 sts, but you will have 72 sts after the set-up round.

The hat looks lovely and I’m ready to knit but I am confused by the gauge. You say 18/stitches for for inches and cast on 54 stitches. But that should measure 13 1/2 inches. Too small for adult hat.

What am I missing?

Hi! If “yarn over, slip 1, knit 1″= 3 stiches, and we repeat this for 27 times, then we should get 81 stitch at the end of row 1. So this means you are missing one stitch. Check the number of stitches after you’ve joined them in the round – you should have 54 stitches (for the invisible join you should cast on one extra stitch = that’s 55, and then decrease it to get 54 sts). If the number of stitches is correct, then work the first row slowly, you are probably missing one yarn over. Hope this helps!

hi! i had no problem casting on and joining the round; however, when i go knit the first row, i keep ending up with 80 stitches afterwards. i think, with the yarn over-ing, i should have 72 stitches at the end of row 1. can you confirm 72 stitches should be correct? if so, any idea what i could be doing wrong to end up with more? thanks!

Sorry, I don’t quite understand when the yarn overs go missing. When you begin round 2 – are the yarn overs made in the previous round there? If no, make sure you work the yarn overs in the 1st round. If the yarn overs are there, then you purl them together with the next stitch – you simply insert the needle into both stitches and purl as you normally would. I work the purl stitches a bit differently, but it shouldn’t change the process.

On row 2 my Norwegian style purl seems to make it so I don’t have a yarn over. What am I doing wrong? I have started over at least a dozen times now….??!!

In reply to Chae. Hi Chae! The stitch count should stay the same - you decrease one stitch by knitting two together, and you increase one stitch by making a yarn over.

Hi Mirella, i started out with 56 stitches but the more i knit it seems like circumference is decreasing. Is this normal since i’m purling together and knitting together? Is it supposed to stay as 56 stitches after row 2 and 3? If so, am i missing a step? Purling or knitting together and slipping one stitch sounds like it will decrease. Thank you in advance for your help!
