My first try at a publishable pattern. It is based on the Shaker Knit Hat and Scarf Set in Knitting With the Lights Off! by Billie Hall re-sized for newborns. After working my way through that highly recommended publication, I realized I still had to become super-comfortable with the lights ON my Passap E6000. I like to start off my Passap sessions with something simple to flex my poor memory before moving on to anything more complicated and my local hospital's maternity always accepts newborn hats.
Fisherman's Rib Infant Hat 02/23/2020
Practice Emphasis: programming multiple patterns. It features a Passap signature knitting technique, the springy Fisherman's Rib, KT 104. I use this piece to awaken my Passap mind and muscle memory before moving on to anything larger, or more complex.
Yarn: 2 strand 2/24 acrylic
Completed size: 10-1/2" by 6-1/2" stretching to fit full term infants, 14" circumference.
Disc tension: 4-1/2, or the setting that will cause your tension wire to pull up a hands breadth above the tension arm after threading.
Go through the chart twice. Use the first two columns to program the console, then use the information across all five columns to create the piece.
