      Hi, if you take the example of Row 24 *K1, K2tog. Rep from* to end of row.

      You will repeat K1, K2tog to the end of the row. So it will go K1, K2tog, K1, K2tog, K1, K2tog, K1, K2tog, etc.. until you run out of stitches on that particular row.

      I hope this made sense. Let me know how you get on.

      Hi, I have a pattern for 0-3 months

      http://lovelyjubblyknits.blogspot.com/2015/05/basic-knitted-baby-hat-0-3-months.html

      If you still want to follow this pattern I would suggest to use a 4 mm needle instead of the 3.75 mm and this should fit a newborn.

    Thank you so much for showing how one can knit a baby's hat without using DPNs. I do not enjoy using those and I so want to make these 'lil hats for charity. I can sew up a back seam quicker than I can wrestle with all those needles. I have watched your youtube video and it is how I found your blog. Very nice.
