caron baby hat

[teapot]

I was trying to do the caron baby hat that is knitted on circular needles.

I was using a size 8 as suggested but using baby yarn.

SHould I have used a smaller set of needles?

 

Mayby I should have used worsted weight.

They called for caron simply soft yarn.

 

What would you suggest?

Oh ya they said to do the baby hat with 74 stitches.

what is the suggested size on your yarn band??

suggested size as per pattern??

 

Just from what I have done I am thinking a size 8 needle is probably worsted Yarn

What gauge is called for in the pattern?

you need to use whay size needles the baby yarn suggests and possibly add a few stitches.

Caron Simply Soft is a worsted weight yarn....size 8 needles would be the size to use for that yarn. You could maybe double the baby yarn to get the right gauge.

Ok they call for caron simply soft head measurement is 15-16" (17-18)

They say to use one circular needle us. 8 5mm needles 20: or 24"

gauge k2,p2 rib, 20 sts and 24 rows=4"10 cm

in crisscross stitch, 20 sts and 24 rows = 4"/10cm

I think I'll just try some worsted weight stuff.

Either that or i'll use baby yarn and a smaller needle.

Thanks for the help, everyone. Teapot

P.s. the pattern is free on the caron site.

Smaller needles for the baby yarn, But like Angeleyz14 said your hat is going to be smaller then the pattern cos' you are using a lighter yarn and smaller needles..
