help with a knitting pattern

ahoy!

So I am trying to knit Spock a cute little hat thinking it would be nice to take Spock home in it =). But I'm so lost and confused. I'm sure I followed the pattern 100% but I can not work out how it actually works...

so it is the 'hat with ears' in 'Lincraft Giggles Baby' (if anyone happens to have the pattern). if not, I took a photo =) sorry if its really hard to read, cause it is a photo of the page...

this is what I got at the end...
(ok it wont let me attach another photo.. so I'll do it in a reply)

so, I don't understand how sewing the ends together would work...because then the ears would be sewn together...not on opp sides... I can understand if I made a 2nd one to match it and then sewed it together it would work...but no where does it say make 2, and then that would be MASSIVE for a newborn...

I just don't understand.. did I mess up, or is the pattern wrong??

TIA!!

what I have got.

I did have another photo of the picture in the pattern, if people need that one let me know and i'll up load it too...but it looks exactly like what i have, except as a hat (so basically I only have half of what the picture looks like.)

I'd love to help Teirae but I can't make anything out in the first link. The image is too small and when I try to enlarge it, it is all out of focus.

If the pattern is wrong, you could try googling for corrections or looking up the Lincraft website, :dunno:

Is there any other way you could post the pattern for more clarity?

ETA: I had another squiz and I *think* I can make out that it does say to make 2
Middle column, 2nd part under tension information:

Hat
**** of *** (make 2)

Where stars indicate letters I can't make out!

If it would be massive for a newborn, does your tension work out?

pmsl, you are right!! it does say make 2 there!!


man I feel like a dweeb missing that! Thankyou!!!

it is going to be massive though...ahh well =)

Ahhh, I'd blame baby brain!
It takes you by surprise! I am still there even though my last preg was 2 years ago :rolleyes: The only answer is to laugh at yourself!

Maybe you could try knitting another with a smaller needle and then you could have a newborn size and one for Spock to grow in to? Nothing wrong with that!

lol, oh I am a pro at laughing at myself =D

yea, even though it will be too big to use as soon as Spock is born, I will still use it as soon as this little ones head is big enough =P cause it looks pretty cosy. and I do have HEAPS of the wool =)
