Knitting qu.

Options
I have looked for free VERY easy knitting patterns for a beanie type hat for a child but they are not basic enough for me!!!
I already have double knitting wool and size 6 needles. I wasnt to make hat to match a scarf that I am doing and have "aquired way to much wool for. It is for an 8year old

Just want to say that OS forum users are by far the nicest. I have just had my fingers burnt on the travel thread: what a bunch ofarrogant *******!!!

    Superdog - I don't know anything about knitting but I've just gone to see what you were referring to on the Travel forum. The responses weren't nice but please don't let those posters' rudeness put you off. There are some great MSEers on that forum too who can be very helpful.
