Pumpkin Hat and Booties Set

Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice® Baby

GAUGE:

16 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) over Stockinette st worked in the rnd (k every rnd). 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.

Pumpkin Hat and Booties Set Reviewed by Cydney Brooks on 2008-10-16 *****
If you have knit socks using the "magic loop" method, you can bypass the double point needles and knit the cap and socks on a 40"circular. Much easier!!
