I'm the crocheter who asked where to start learning to knit a few days ago. I'm now working on my first project.

I'm making a hat! Currently on my 5th row and absolutely hooked (forgive the crochet pun).

Soon you'll start thinking of knitting and crochet as basically the same craft, and their related puns as completely interchangeable :D

Glad it's going well! Did you pick a particular pattern to go with or just decide to dive in with some sort of calculator?

Trying the mariners hat here:

I feel like the ribbing will be forgiving when it comes to sizing

Ah yes definitely a good call! Anything that makes tension and gauge less important when you're learning is a winner 😅
