LOOMED BABY HAT PATTERNS
Copyright
Bev Qualheim 2003, 2007
In
the Attic
NEWBORN loom-- pegs are 3/4" apart. 2 strands soft yarn
* For
baby hats
I use 2 strands of sport yarn, 2 strands of Simply Soft yarn, or one
strand soft 4 ply worsted and one
strand baby yarn. I only wrap the pegs twice.
Knit 12 rows.
Make a BRIM. (see photo
at right)
*
To make a BRIM:
Lift the
first
row/beginning edge up onto the pegs, one stitch (consisting of 2
strands) at a time. (This
will create your 2 rows you need on the loom). Don't wrap this
row.
Knit off
that
row.
Now,
continue
to wrap rows clockwise after that and knit 12 more rows.
Remove and
gather
the top.
Alternate hat
patterns - You need less than an ounce of yarn to make a newborn
hat. Loom used is the In the Attic newborn
hat loom. $5.99
One pictured is the Glow
in the Dark newborn loom- the glowing really works and lasts all
night!

Rolled Brim Hat
Start off wrapping loom twice with the e-wrap using 2 strands of soft
yarn.
Knit 20 rows in single knit stitch.
Remove using yarn needle and GATHERED TOP method.
Chunky Braid Brim
Use
2 strands of yarn. For this hat pictured, I used 1 strand of
yellow Simply Soft yarn, and 1 strand of sock yarn.
Do chunky braid stitch for one row - wrap the pegs 4 times
around.
Lift 3 wraps (actually 6 strands since you are using 2 strands for each
wrap) over 1 wrap. This forms the Chunky Braid Stitch.
Single Knit for 14 more rows.
Remove with GATHERED TOP method.
