[Nfb-krafters-korner] nifty knitter hat

[AUDREY WELLNER]

Becky, 
   Do you have a 3 or 4 year old running around nearby?  Grab them and get them to stand still for 2 seconds and either use one of your special Braille tape measures or even the length of your fingers (from thumb to middle finger) and measure their head. Place the tip of your thumb right behind or over their ear and stretch your hand and fingers to the crown or top of their head.  Feel where that point ends on your hand or your tape measure and give about an inch or two over that measurement for room to grow or for a more floppy pointed hat look. You can make it as long as you think would be appropriate, but for beginnings this measurement should be appropriate. 
   Audrey J. Wellner, Secretary

Ok, if I wanted to make a child's hat on the Nifty Knitter it says to use
the red loom. But how many inches off the loom should the piece be to be the
right sized for say a child's size three or four hat? Does any one know or
has an educated guess.  But obviously I would like to have the real length,
smile.

Becky and Jake
