Chris’s hat (adult; blue and white)

After completing the scarf for Chris I wanted to make a hat to match. The first attempt was made on the Green KK Round Loom with a single e-wrap, and was too stretchy. The following was made with a thick yarn (single e-wrap), with the stripe consisting of a double-yarn e-wrap.

Loom: Yellow KK Round (41 pegs)
Yarn: Lion Brand, Wool-Ease Thick & Quick, Denim Twist (color 194); Bernat, Softee Chunky, Grey Ragg (color 39047)
Stitch: E-wrap single for Denim Twist, double-yarn E-wrap for Grey Ragg
Hat, double yarn (12/28)

After completing my striped hat, I created this hat using two strands of yarn on the green round loom. I also followed a standard “pattern” for a hat that I found on one of the mailing lists which suggested 14 rows (folded to form a 7 row brim), and then 24 rows from the top of the brim to the top of the hat. This hat has a closer knit to it (due to the double yarn), and will be the standard for future hat projects.

Loom: Green KK Round (36 pegs)
Yarn: Red Heart, Worsted Medium 5oz, Fleck (color 4334)
Stitch: E-wrap, double-yarn
