Link Hat
Our local library was having Hat Day at the Teen Book Talk. Eman asked if I could make him a hat. He didn't really have an idea in mind. He just wanted something different. Kodi and I discussed what kind of hat to make and he kind of gave me an idea based on a picture on one of their video game cases. This pattern is free for all to use, just give me credit for it please. I do sell items if someone wants to purchase the hat instead of making it themselves.
This pattern uses all 4 of the Knifty Knitter looms. I cast on with the varigated yarn onto the yellow or extra large loom using the basic e-wrap cast on. We decided that a solid color and a tighter cast on method would have been better. I did a K2, P2 pattern for the ribbing. I think that a K1, P1 would have come out a little nicer though. I worked in this manner for 1 1/2". I then changed yarn to a grey acrylic. I worked in e-wrap for 6 inches before switching to the large, green loom. When decreasing size you have to double up loops approximately every 8th loop. I then continued to e-wrap for 6 more inches. Again I decreased in the same manner to the medium, red loom. Again e-wrapping for 6". The small, blue loom was the last decrease, again e-wrapping for 6". I then bound off by threading my yarn though each loop and removing one at a time, tightening as I went. I then wove in all ends.
Please feel free to ask questions about my pattern if you have any difficulties. |
