I love knitting. I love to crochet. Not only that, but I’m not an expert, it takes me forever to be able to finish a project, I confess I have so many unfinished projects. Maybe it’s me problem, I don’t know, but sometimes I’m in the middle of a project and I feel like starting another, and it’s so great, this feels good feeling of endless possibility of what might be that one. Well, since I’m confessing, I don’t always follow the pattern, nor do I always have a finished product in mind, sometimes I just go with the flow. Yes, there’s a lot of back and forth. Let’s just say that sometimes, in the middle of a project, I improvise and hope for the best. If you’re a beginner, don’t do this. And don’t be adventurous as to pull out the baby yarn because, trust me, I have a long unfinished project due to pulling the baby yarn and now its bits are cut everywhere and full of knots…help!
SO far, I have only knitted a few things for my children. I am an organized person, so I like to have a few tables on what I’m knitting or might be knitting next. So, today I will be sharing a table that I’ve made for beanie sizes.
Now, a bit of advice, this table works for me, but it doesn’t mean it will work for you. I do measure a beanie that one of the children already has and fits them, if it is the same as the measurement on the table, if not, I do sometimes count how many stitches it has, depending on the needle size. The gauge is also to be taken into account. If you have a large gauge, use less stitches, if it is a tighter one, use more stitches.
This chart is for a 4mm needle, US size 6, I prefer to use this size due to its finished product, may I also add, I do not have much time to knit, so maybe a few hours at night, by a few I mean maybe one hour, while watching the latest of murder mysteries, unsolved mysteries or AMC crime, so a needle size that will my work look good and I’ll have it finished faster. Although, a 2 mm needle has brought me much joy with the finished product, had I only adjusted the amount of stitches… oh well, lesson learned.
