I have knitted a hat! ...for a baby?
So I suspected this might happen because the pattern called for thicker yarn than I chose to use, with fewer stitches/inch. I wanted to follow the instructions anyway just so I understood the process and outcome before I started making modifications. While I really like this wool for a hat I'd wear, I do think it's a bit too fine for my first knitting project. #knitting #machineknitting
@kyle either way, well done
@kyle That looks great for a newborn!
It turns out this wasn't really my fault! After trying again with the proper sized yarn I've determined the #knitting pattern is incorrect. Other hat patterns for this type of knitting machine call for about double the stitches per row and about double the rows.
I learned a lot through this painful process though. I understand enough about how this works that I'm going to try to adapt a different pattern that has proper measurements to the style of hat I want. #knitting #machineknitting
