a baby hat

I have a new craft project.  I am knitting a hat for Jacob.  I bought my pattern and yarn yesterday and have already knit (and then unraveled) twenty rows. 

Aside from making a mistake I could not fix twenty rows in - ugh! -  this is the perfect project because in addition to being adorable, it is also knit on straight needles.  And although my Aunt assures me knitting on the round is easy, I am not completely convinced. 

The pattern happens to be all in French.  A hazard of living in France, I guess.  And I now know that tricoter means to knit, point jersey is stocking stitch and aiguilles are needles.  I think that is all I need to know.  The rest will hopefully fall into place.
