I just started knitting a newborn baby hat for a friend who is having a baby in the fall. I’ve knit adult hats several times without a pattern, so I figured I can do this without a pattern no problem. One baby pattern book suggests the brow width should be about 13.5 inches. But all the pattern books I have say which row to start decrease not inch. Can anyone tell me how many inches I should knit before starting to decrease?
Also I was thinking of adding side flaps. Anybody know where I should place the flaps?
My gauge came out to 72 sets on size 4 circular needles (using Microspun). I’m about 2 inches into the project.
