To ChristinaG , I know that these symbols can be confusing, as I am only a few months into knitting myself. It seems to me that the (ssk) is the one that is throwing you off with your counting, if you are not doing that one right. I'm assuming that you are just slipping those stitches and going on, and that would throw you off. To ssk, you slip the first stitch as if to knit, slip the second as if to knit, then you slip them back onto the left needle and knit those two together. It's important that you slip as if to knit, because this puts a little twist in the stitches and makes it face the opposite direction from a K2tog. I had trouble with this the first time I encountered it, and was ready to pull my hair out until I saw a demonstration of it done on youtube. There are a LOT of good videos that show how to do these things that are really best learned by watching, and my list of knitting abbreviations came from www.dummies.com and has really helped me out. Just go to youtube and type in "Difference between K2tog and SSK and you will see exactly what I am talking about. Hope this helps!

I finished my first top-down baby jacket. What I would like to know is how does the measurement underarm to bottom edge compare to the length of the sleeve (raglan) length from neck to widest part of sleeve. What should the length from the underarm to the sleeve cuff be. It seems to me that the sleeve from the underarm upto the edge of the cuff, the lenght is the same as for the bottom edge of the garment to the underarm and that the increments for the garment on the raglan front/back also corresponds with the lenght of the rest. I do hope you understand my question and that you will be able to let me know. Kind regards Karen

I am the happy grandmother of 12 now, and 13 in two more months. I made this hat for my newest grandbaby Ella, who arrived at 8:30 AM today. But my luck is never good. The last baby, born 3 months ago, had a head that measured 14.5" and this would have been perfect. But Ella arrived at 9 lbs, 9 oz with a head to match. She's wearing it now in the hospital, but it looks kind of like a strawberry sitting upside down on a basketball!

Suggestion: I don't know how you tell in advance, but since the hat is so easy, make two--one just like the pattern, and another one bigger. If the smaller one doesn't fit, it can go to charity; if the hat fits fine, then there'll be another to replace it as she/he grows!
