I just don't know where to begin and I'm getting extremely

[Mom2GarretandRyan]

frustrated!!!!!!

I want to make a hat for my kids. I measured my son's head right above the eyebrows and it's 19"
I personally like smaller needles (sz 2 for example), but I am so new to all this, I barely understand guage.

It's like now that I have his head circumfrance, now what do I do, how will I know how many stitches I need. I am just so overwhelmed by all of it, that I'm ready to quit even before I begin :crying:
