I made this hat a and coordinating flower headband set for a neighbor's newborn (hat) and the flower headband for her daughter. It's always nice to remember the siblings and bring them something too.
The yarn I used for this project was the Michael's Loops and Threads Charisma yarn, which is a Bulky 5 weight. I like how soft this yarn is and how quick I can create a project using a bulky yarn. I really like how the yarn did a self striping technique. I only needed about 1/2 skein to make both projects. The infant hat was made on the blue knifty knitter loom.
To make the brim - Knit 10 rows, then after your pull over the 10th row, place the loops from the first row back on the pegs and pull over. This will create a thick cuff at the bottom.
Then continue to e-wrap and pull over until you have a hat that measures 6" (for an infant size). Bind it off by running a piece of yarn through the loops and pulling together and tying.
You can create a pom pom for the top by using Clover Large Pom Pom Maker.
The flower headband is super simple to make by using the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom. You can make a flower in only a couple minutes. And then I just tied it to a matching headband I bought and glue a small circular piece of matching felt to the underside to hide the tie.
I also used this same flower loom to make:
This is so cute! I added it to my Pinterest!
ReplyDeleteI used to knit, my husband taught me how. This makes me want to get out my yarn again. It's that time of year!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I have no idea how to knit. It looks hard.
ReplyDeleteI love this loom hat with the brim. I am going to make one for my niece's new lil one and my sisters new lil one. Thanks for sharing. Love this.
ReplyDeleteWhat size loom did u use?
ReplyDeleteI used the blue loom in the knifty knitter kit. I know that kit is no longer made, so it would be the smallest loom in your kit of 4.
