Loom Knit Hat Tutorial!

New tutorial! Learn to create this hat with a round knitting loom!



This video shows how to loom knit a hat from start to finish. We'll go over the e-wrap/knit stitch and the purl stitch. Even if you are a beginner and have never knitted before, you can make this!

Making this was a throwback to elementary school where we used to make these hats all the time! I'm definitely not an expert on knitting, but I just had to show you this easy and fun way to knit a hat!


Materials:
The loom I used
The whole set of looms
Yarn


A written summary of this video:

•Alternate between knitting and purling each row until it reaches about 5 inches long. Bring first row up and put them back onto the pegs. Knit these together.

•Tie a knot to create a loop in a new color of yarn. Put this on first peg and wrap and knit this row.

•For the rest of the rows, follow the pattern of knitting 4 stitches, and purling 2, knit 4, purl 2. Continue until the hat is about 9 inches long.

•Cut the working yarn, leaving about a two foot tail. Run this yarn through each loop on each peg, and remove them from the pegs. Pull tight to gather the top together and tie some knots through the first loop to secure. Put leftover tail inside hat or weave through.

DIY Arm Knit Infinity Scarf

This tutorial is from last year, but never got posted here. Arm knitting is really popular again, and it is actually super easy to do! It doesn't matter if you don't know how to knit - you can make this.




In this video, I'll be going over:
-how to cast on
-how to knit
-how to cast off / bind off
-how to stitch the 2 ends together to form the infiniti scarf

Before stitching the ends together to create an infiniti scarf, mine measured 34" Long x 12.5" Wide. It is 15 stitches wide.

Tips:

*Keep in mind, a very bulky, heavy-weight yarn definitely works best for this project. You can try it with other types of yarn, but you'll get a different effect than what is shown here.

*If you have a scarf you like the length/width of, measure it and use it as a guide for this.
