My first knit hats…

June 2nd, 2007

So I learned how to crochet hats a few years ago when I started Brimming with Love, but I have never been able to knit. I just always figured that one hand was easier to work with than two. Then I discovered the lovely invention of the round knitting loom (the Knifty Knitter). Too cool! I made these two hats in one sitting.

I bought the set of 4 round looms with a coupon at Michaels (great deal for around $8). Don’t let the sizes fool you. Since the red one was roughly the circumference of my head, I tested it out on the first hat.

The result was the hat on the right (it’s questionable, but it just might fit a 2 year old.) The green loom is only slightly larger than the red, but produces a nice average size adult hat. I think this hat pattern would look great with some pretty variegated yarn. I’ll have to try that next.

These are really cute. You’ll have to teach me how to do this next time I come.
As for the small one, there are a lot of children with leukemia who could use those. You might want to investigate the next time you deliver hats to the adult cancer center.
Love you.
