Wow! I love that hat...learning how to purl, cast off, and make those bunny ears. I'd better get working...I have a new grandson and many baby gifts to make...TFS.
Awesome video! Thank you. Your videos have helped me so much. I had a stroke in my 20s and I took up loom knitting to heal my brain. Your videos have helped me so much, since I have a hard time understanding some things without seeing them. Very well taught, fun, and easy to follow. Thanks! Looking forward to more videos
can you show how to do the ears on needles? I'm not sure what stitch I would use where you just wrap the peg but don't stitch it. Is this just a slip stitch maybe?
I have a couple of questions, actually. If i want to make the center of the ear a different color, when and where will i be able to alternate from the original color to the color I'd want the middle of the ear to be? Also, is there a way to make the ears a bit pointer, like the ears of a fox or dog?
Shonda Senpai - 1.) I wouldn't recommend switching colors because it would show on both sides so just use chalkpastels or something to make the inside a different color 2.) I think you cant
Help please. My daughter is almost done and yet the brim is extremely loose. We used a really soft yarn recommended by a knitter however the particular stitch you have for the brim is loose. Any suggestions please
Tuteate can I switch color after the lower part? Please help me I'm trying to make one. And it's so cute thanks for sharing but please also help me by switching color. Thanks.
arnold buot hi! Yes, you can switch color after the brim :) We recommend you to watch this other video on how to do it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-axdcRJyDmw4.html
I need help! I made 6 hats on the 24 newborn loom. Our granddaughter is 6 weeks old and the hats were all to tight! I think the next loom 31 peg will be to big. What should I do?
Hi Ricki! I think you can use the 31 peg loom! Depending on the size of the yarn you are using, the result comes out narrower or wider... If you try it and it comes out too loose or wide, then you could try using 2 or 3 strands of your yarn at the same time, as if you had a bulkier yarn... Please let me know how it goes! (and congrats! you have a 6-weeks-old granddaughter!)
A round is going once all around the loom, from the peg you put your slip knot on, back to that peg. It doesn't matter how many stitches or the pattern, that is always what is meant when a designer says "rounds."
I got my answer NM from a previous reply to another person who made the same comment. You doubled over and didn't include that in the video? Why not? Any solutions. My daughter is very discouraged by this project.
+Tuteate I tried with a 41 peg loom and it was way too large for a normal adult size head. the loom one size down will probably work better, after i turn my current work in progress into a cowl neck scarf instead :)
The stitch you use (flat, u-wrap) and the yarn weight will make a big difference in the gauge - which will affect the size of the finished product. Written patterns will usually give a gauge (how many stitches per inch) that produced the size of the product they give directions for. There are some good videos that compare the different gauge looms, the different stitches, and the different weight yarns and how they affect your fabric size and density. Even individuals' tension as they knit will affect their fabric. :) Don't get discouraged, though, the more projects you do the more you will get a feel for your individual style.
Hi Kennedy Griffin :) We suggest you to work the brim in this other way next time: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1AZObIoQdJ8.html (it turns out more elastic)
This is so cute but mine didn't turn out quite like yours. The brim is fine but the rest doesn't look ribbed with flat then ribbed then flat then ribbed etc. And it makes sense that it is different because it is the same stitch throughout! I think you gave us wrong instructions or showed the wrong video maybe? But I know you won't reply.
A "round" is when you go clear around the loom one time. Usually from the peg you put your slip knot on, working the pegs all around the perimeter back to the slip knot peg. The "slip knot peg" is the single peg that sticks out from the side. You don't do "rounds" when you do a flat panel. Like making a pot holder or an afgan square. Flat panels work back and forth in "rows" and don't go all the way around.
You can almost always find them in second hand stores and discount stores. They have the large gauge looms. My favorite looms though are CinDwood Looms. I prefer the finer gauge looms and using regular weight yarns. Projects so go faster on these larger gauge looms though.
