I have been working on an additional hat for my neighbors kiddies, and finished this one (for Michael) this evening. I’m a fan of stripes it seems.

Details coming soon.

Loom: Green KK Round (36 pegs)
Yarn:
Stitch: Double-yarn E-wrap

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

I’ve been working on a tube scarf for the last week, and thought I would post pics of it’s current status.

The image on the left was taken with a flash, and there was no flash used on the right. The first end has a slight “brim” of six rows (folded) for weight. I’m still trying to ascertain how I will do the same effect at the other end.

Loom: Blue KK Round (24 pegs)
Yarn: Lion Brand, Jiffy Quick & Easy Mohair Look Yarn, El Paso (color 325402)
Stitch: E-wrap

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

I completed this hat on Christmas Day as family slept and watched movies. I had just finished the multi-color hat, and wanted to try a single strand of yarn knit for a hat to see how it turned out.

Loom: Green KK Round (36 pegs)
Yarn: Lion Brand, Wool-Ease worsted Weight (3oz), Wheat (Color 402) - primary color; Lion Brand, Wool-Ease (3oz), Denim Twist (color 194) - stripe color
Stitch: E-wrap, single

Notes: This hat is a lot looser than the multi-color hat given the yarn used. Next hat will be double yarn.

This was my very first project using the KK long loom and the yarn used (lamb wool blend) is very soft and warm.

Loom: Yellow KK Long Loom, 36 pegs (38 with anchor pegs)
Yarn: Lion Brand, Wool-Ease (3oz), Denim Twist (color 194)
Stitch: double-knit
