Easy Loom Knitting Hat Tutorial - absolute beginner friendly! 

My condolences and prayers to her family. She taught me how to make my first flower printed quilt. She was one talented lady. Thankful for the lessons I learned from her.

Melanie will keep teaching forever with videos

Hi Everyone! It's been almost 6 years since I did a loom knitting video, it's high time we did a new one! Here's a great hat I made... perfect for absolute beginners or even kids! Enjoy!

Just happened to find this today looking for a pattern for loom hats. It made me cry. So very 😢. I hope her family are doing ok but I imagine they are going through a very hard time- her kids are so young-she was so young! You’ve left a beautiful legacy sweet girl, that will live on and keep your beautiful creations going on. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm a beginner to crocheting...I found Melanie's channel by searching beginner crochet and was so happy that I found someone that is a pro at this but at the same time knows how to teach it through video. As I searched through more of Melanie's videos, I came across her husbands video of her life battling cancer. This broke me to tears. I wish her whole family a lot of love and happiness in the future. To her mom and Dad, Thank you for raising such a bright, kind and full of life daughter that will go on teaching her crafts forever. I will continue to watch Melanie's videos so she can teach me many more projects. I lost my brother 15 years ago to cancer, he was 39. I don't know why this happens to good people and I struggle to believe that it is all a part of the big guy's plan, but we have to keep the faith. I have truly prayed for your whole family for forever love and peace. Thank you, Dione

This kind of knitting intimidates me but this video makes it look easy. May God keep this lovely person in His memory. ❤️

I am a senior citizen and was browsing you tube about loom knitting. I found this channel. I looked for more things that Melanie did online. Incredibly talented. I did not know she had passed away, to young. As I know my mother died when she was 30 and I was 13. I will keep you in my prayers and the whole family. Take care.

I appreciate how you made this video so easy. You didn’t talk too fast or too slow but actually explained everything clearly. Thank you 😊

This is a wonderful tutorial! I have crocheted all my life and wanted badly to also knit, but I just can not get comfortable doing it. I got some knitting looms and found them extremely easy to use. I even taught my 2 kids. It is really nice to find such a great tutorial showing some other techniques! I will definitely come back to this and use it as a guide. I recommend these to everyone. If you do not want to invest in one right away, although the can be found fairly inexpensively, your local library will most likely have a bunch that you can check out! I am in a small town and just found that my library has a ton of different knitting looms to check out. Also, just a fun fact, knitting was originally always done on a loom! Crochet was invented for shepards out in the fields and knitting was done at home on looms! It wasn't until more recent times that knitting started being done on 2 needles. The original portable yarn crafts were Crochet and Nailbinding.

Much love to Melanies husband and children 💕 I cried watching this video today 😥 I love Melanies work, so creative and always upbeat and happy. May she live on through her wonderful tutorials as does my subscription to her channel xxx

Thank you - I just finished my first ever loom project and this video was great! My husband is impressed with my first hat!

Wow, amazing step by step video! Just finished a hat for my sister! Can't wait for her to see it!!! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for it! Just made my first one and I LOVE IT!! Can't wait to make more!

Your wonderful craftsmanship will live on in your videos. 🌹

Great tutorial! Love the color of the yarn.

Just came across your video and I just wanted to say I think it is so cool of you to spread the story for World Vision and the refugee issues in Syria! Thanks for doing something great with your talent!

Awe Melanie keeping you're family in my thoughts

Thank you Melanie for doing a loom video. I look forward to you hopefully making more of them. Baby blankets, regular blankets, etc.

Super cute hat and you make it look so easy! Now I want to go buy a loom and make myself one. Thanks for the tutorial!

This is awesome!! I have had this loom set for almost 15 years and make hats every year. I have never seen it made like this. Thank you!!!!

I just made it . It’s lovely .

Miss use sweet girl, but so happy that others can still learn from your talent🙏🏻

I just found this video the other day and made myself a hat. I was so excited to start learning how to make things when I saw the video about her documentary you were making. I am so sorry for you loss. She seemed liked an incredible person. My heart goes out to you. God bless!:(

Just made and posted that hat by loomaknit last month. Definitely feels different when your used to hooks and needles but a skill worth giving a shot! Great video.

I always wondered how to use a loom! Great tutorial! Very cool! ❤️

You always make everything look so easy, Melanie!! Love this hat!

Beautiful beanie. Thanks for sharing!

Omg I just saw this and want to make it lol, will have to watch repeat several times but excited to try

thank you for doing this video I'm fairly new to loom knitting I love it. I have figured out a knit stitch the yarn is at the back and a perl is at the front. I've made a hat that I didn't follow any pattern and it's OK I've done 1 leg warmer lol and I've done a baby blanket ( on a straight loom ) for my great niece. I'm currently working on a blanket for my great nephew and a new hat.

I absolutely love this hat pattern makeing a ton of these

I love how you talk well your showing us and not just music . I get total lost with music . Thank you for the written instructions aswell .

Thank you for such a great tutorial! I'm a beginner and your video was easy to follow.

So cute!

Hi Melanie, thanks for sharing, I have been wanting to try a loom hat 👍💙

RIP, Melanie...thanks for this tutorial

From 12:01 and up, I learn it and it was so easy! Thank you so much, I’m currently relearning how to loom knit

Love it ! I'm starting now

This is very pretty, I'll have to get my loom out, thanks!

Thank you for sharing this fun project. Hope you are doing good. Blessings to you and your family and our friends here in RU-vid land.

Very cute,lots of patience

Love your hat

Lovely hat Melanie!

LOVE IT!!! On my 2nd hat, lol. Please make more loom videos. Socks, mittens, blankets, scarves, etc. I would love to learn how to make them on my loom which, for me, is so much easier to maneuver than a crochet hook. Thank you Melanie!!

Thank you for teaching me ♥️

This is great. I’ve tried knitting several times and couldn’t master gauge. I’ve never thought about using looms. I’m definitely going to do this. Thanks.

I have used this pattern to make several hats for my daughter. I was coming here this morning to comment and thank her, because she’s the ONLY one I can understand and follow. I’m so saddened to hear of her passing. I think I’ll make a few hats and donate them in her honor.

If you had more loom knitting tutorials I would subscribe. I appreciated this tutorial.

Melanie, you're truly the best! The tutorials you do are so easy to follow! Thanks for sharing!

Very pretty hat.

I recently started knitting on a loom I was already doing some crocheting before this was a good video I learn something new

Will always miss you mel❤️

Thank you so much Melanie I always wanted to do a hat with the brand instead of folding it. It becomes too thick and bulky I like this one.

Thank you. Making it now 😊

R.I.P young lady! I will try this when my kids get older!

I never thought i could do this. the yarn and loom area at my craft store is so intimidating. you made this look easy. i may actually try it now! **Edit I had no idea this beautiful soul passed away.

It's lovely thank you for sharing how many Row for a man xx

My favorite thing about RU-vid is when an icon RU-vidr like Melanie passes away. we still have her videos to carry on her legacy

Love it, I would love to learn more

Thanks for sharing.

Looking at crotchet and knitting videos today and happened across this one. I really like how well she explains every step of the process, and when reading the comments realized she had passed away over a year ago. Such a sad ending to something I clicked on by chance, I hope she's resting in peace.

Hello thanks for the hat tutorial

finally, a video that I don't start yelling at because its too hard

I should’ve used a more chunky yarn it looks like a lot more gaps with my thinner yarn . this tutorial is amazing though!! thank you for sharing 😊

Cute! I got one from my grama after she died and I've been wanting to make some stuff, doesn't look too daunting :) thanks Melanie

Great!!!!!

Next time I go to Michael's I will get my very first yarn loom because I want to make hats and scarves sets for my church and operation Christmas child boxes for the poor children of the world 🌎 amen 🙏

Awesome something that is easy,geaz those little instructions books. My attention depi is horrible but followed this thanks 😊

Super

Cool

Thank you so much for this video! Could you do a tutorial on the Boye red rectangular loom? I got it for Christmas and I am not sure what to do with it.

Love this am making it right now and it’s going pretty good , can you teach us how to make a scarf and a blanket with the loom 👍🏽 please

That is a beautiful hat! Can I use the same pattern to make a matching scarf or would that look weird?

This is a great tutorial!! I like to use my Addi to make hats for donations, but I think I am going to make a few of these to add to the pile. I hope you have more loom tutorials in the works!😉

Nice

❤❤❤

R.I.P this was one of my first hats I made.🥃glass of bourbon

👍🏻👍🏻

I prefer the chain cast-on to limit "loopy" brim.

if i wanted to do this pattern for a toddler sized loom, how rows of knit 1 purl 1 would i do and how many rows to finish off?

I am a beginner at loom knitting. Can the cast on be done in a (Double Ewrap) for this pattern?

really cute :D 💜 even though it´s spring time, I think I have to give my loom another shot (can´t say that we are friends haha) that pearl stitch might be just what I needed...and nice trick to tightening up the start like that!

It's been a while since I've done one of these & I decided to try making one for my boss. I used to do these things once in a while with my mom but since she passed away a few months back I couldn't remember how to do it. But I must've missed something......how do you tie off each end? I'm going strictly knit one.

Do you ever make purses? I really enjoy your videos but I haven’t seen one purse making. I would love to see your version of a larger zippered crossbody bag.

We will miss you doll RIP

Could I make this hat on a small guage loom using a number 4 yarn instead?

With this work with medium 4 yarn?

Cute hat, Melanie.

I've never done this before, let alone knit..lol. would this be a good beginner tutorial?

is it possible to do the Lotus stitch on a loom?

Do you alternate u-wrap knit/purl on pegs, or is it the same all the way around?

Do you have a tip to count your rounds of stitching?

40 peg loom 👍🏽

How many inches for the brim? I can't count the rows, I think I have made an error using my row counter. My brim , as far as can measure is about 2 inches. My ear measures 3 1/2 inches, to use that for a brim measurement. Thanks

Rest in peace Melanie!

Buscando gorritos la encontré, qepd, aquí guardaré sus videos y honrare' su memoria, qepd, su legado permanecerá 🌺🌺🌺

When you demo the pearl stitch the loom goes up and off camera a bit

Help. What to do when the loom is 41 pegs? If I continue to alternate the knit purl stitches, the second row will be different. Any advice?

I am a beginner and made two hats with the loom. I have 56 peg loom and my hat came out kind of small. Does it matter the distance between the pegs? I want to make hats for kids and adults.

If you're making this hat for someone that's losing their hair due to cancer with this Loom be good or should I use a smaller one?

Was this done on the whole hat? I thought the brim was or looks different from the hat itself
