Knitting Project - A Baby Square Hat 1

This is my first baby hat masterpiece. Its been quite some times since my last knitting project. I wanted to rekindle my love for knitting and found something simple yet interesting. This baby hat is for my baby niece. A one month old baby.

It is exciting to start knitting again. However, it is hard since I have forgotten most of the knitting techniques. Luckily, I found a shop selling knitting wares which is most willing to guide and teach how to knit.

This is a cute square hat design from SIRDAR which requires a minimum technique and it is most suitable for a beginner. It is great that SIRDAR has a table of chart to help determine the number of yarn needed for the project and there are instructions to knit the hat according to the age of the baby. Great!

I will be showing the stages of the knitting process in coming weeks. The instructions for this hat is as followed.

Using 4mm needles and thumb method cast on 73 [77:83:87:93:97] sts loosely.
1st Row. Knit
This row will now be referred to as g-st (garter stitch).
Working in g-st (throughout) cont until hat measures 17 [18:20:23:27:287]cm, (6½ [7:8:9:10¼:11]in), ending with a ws row.
Cast off loosely.

The size which I chooses is highlighted in blue. Stay tune for my project.
