I've also been knitting baby beanies for the HIV Aids babies in Africa. Here's the pattern for a basic beanie:
Materials Needed
8 ply wool
4mm Needles
Cast on 64 stitches and work 14 rows in rib (K1, P1)
Work 24 rows in stocking stitch or until work measures 11 cm from cast on edge.
Shape crown as follows:
Row 1: *K6, K2 tog, repeat from * to end of row. 56 Stitches
Row 2: Knit
Row 3: *K5, K2 tog, repeat from * to end of row. 48 Stitches
Row 4: Knit
Row 5: *K4, K2 tog, repeat from * to end of row. 40 Stitches
Row 6: Knit
Continue decreasing in this manner until (K1, K2 tog) has been completed and 16 stitches remain.
Knit 1 row
Break yarn and thread through remaining 16 stitches, pull up tightly and fasten off. Sew up seam.
Bright coloured stripes look good and use up small amounts of wool.
Finished beanies & jumpers can be sent to: Wool N' Things, Onekawa Shopping Centre, Maadi Road, Napier, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.
