AMITY Baby Hat & Mittens

Amity means friendship or peaceful harmony.
I think that is a great name for my latest pattern - it seems to have brought so many knitters, from all around the globe, together in their joy of knitting.
 
I have added the instructions for the newborn hat & mittens  -
and a medium premature baby size too for those who knit for SCBUs

  2. Marianna, your patterns are beautiful and I am sol excited to be knitting the top-down sweater 0-3 months. If I may, I would so appreciate it if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong. Row 28 has 147 stitches. Row 29 reads: K23, cast off 2sts, k25, cast off 2sts, k40, cast off 2sts, k25, cast off 2sts, k22--a total of 143 stitches to be worked on. Where did 4 stitches go?
