need help making a preemie cap?
I am a high school teacher and my class has decided to knit blankets and caps for preemies. We were given knitting needles in sizes 8-10 and bought Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn. I searched for easy patterns for preemie caps, but everything uses size 3-5 needles and that would mean our caps would be too big with the needles we have. Anyone have an easy (and I stress easy) sew up pattern for caps using this size needles? Thanks

The real key is to adjust the pattern to fit the needle size and gauge that you have. knit a 4 inch square, measure the number of stitches per inch, and the number of rows per inch.
calculate the difference between your gauge and the one listed on your pattern. adjust the pattern accordingly.
eg. if the pattern says there are 8 stitches to the inch, and your gauge is 4 stitches to the inch, just reduce the number of stitches to cast on by a half. this is one of the best things about knitting, is that it teaches kids the practical uses of math. PS my nephew thinks that you should figure out the percentage difference between your gauge and the pattern gauge, and calculate your stitch changes by multiplying the stitch number by the percent increase. very cool. also, since hospitals have preemies, and full term babies as well, do not worry, the caps will be used, regardless.
