I just googled "how to knit an i-cord" and came up with this great link of tutorial videos: http://video.google.com/videosearch?client=safari&rls=en&q=how+to+knit+and+I-cord&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=rkJcS_rqMo-KlAfUx8HuBA&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CCIQqwQwAw# Hopefully this will help. There are lots of tutorials online that aren't video as well. Hi Martha,

It shouldn't be too big, hmmm, are you getting 5 stitches per inch? 4.5mm = US size 7 needles.

It's on my needles right now for my niece (who's 4 months and rather small anyway). I've got a pretty good match for the yarn you used. But it's coming up awfully big. Unless it's my gauge (could be), it could be that I've mistranslated the needle size - am in the UK and read that US 7 is 4.5mm. This seemed terribly big so I've gone down a few sizes but... still, very big. When you say US size 7, how many millimetres would that be, do you know? Thanks again. Gorgeous pattern, thank you.

I think that is what you are seeing. Have fun and good luck to your cousin. susan On the green hat I just folded the rib section up like a cuff. I think that is what you are seeing.

Of course. :) It is going on my needles later today for my daughter, and then for her soon-to-be-born cousin. Question: On the green hat, it looks like there's an additional purl row after the ribbing? Am I imagining that, or is it just the angle of the photo? This is so cute!
