GAUGE:

19 sts = 4 inches (10 cm) in pattern BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Baby Hat Reviewed by Diana Trampler on 2009-01-11 *****
I made two versions of this hat. The first one I made like the pattern, and oh boy is it cute. The second one I made, I modified the pattern a bit. I just wanted the ribbing, so I did a regular k1b instead of what the pattern called for and boy, it was just as cute as the first.

Very, very easy. Only took me a few days to make. Also easy to change the sizing too. I used sz 4 needles and it worked well for a smaller hat (still used the baby soft yarn).

This will probably be my go baby gift.
