Newbie Knitter Question

MrsLisaT

I am doing my second knitting project, a baby cap, and I have a question about the wording of the pattern.  It has me alternating rows, knit on right side, purl on wrong side.  What does it mean by right side and wrong side?

Right is the side that you can see, the wrong side should be the one inside. It sounds like you're just knitting in stockinette, so you will have knit stitches on one side (the outside/right side) of your project, and purls on the other (inside of the hat/wrong side). By the way, circular knits are really easy- stockinette hats go so much faster when you can knit them around, and no seaming necessary. I know you're new- but, I did a bunch of circular hats before I ever knitted flat things.
