Thank you for this video. I couldn't believe how simple it was to make a hat. Your explanation was very clear and easy to understand. I have been crocheting for years, but this method of no counting or marking stitches is an easy way to work on a project while watching TV at night.
Thanks for the excellent video. I could not find my instructions. I have begun working on "hats" to send to Western North Carolina victims of hurricane Helene.
Thank u so much I came back to this kit bc of u and I could not be anymore grateful u did so well at explaining while others are going fast and explaining 😭🙏
Hello, I have been crocheting for years but have always wanted to try looming. It's a wonderful look and thank you for you are a great instructor. Going to purchase some today. Wish me luck K~
Can you make it double thickness by making a long tube and making both ends the top? I don’t know if my question makes sense. I have seen videos of the addi or sentry machine and they make theirs double thickness. I was wondering if you can also make it like that with the loom. Thank you, I enjoyed your video and explanation
Yes! I do believe you can. I haven't tried it yet because the looms I have use thick yarn already. There is a technique for starting that results in a draw string closure at the beginning. Otherwise, you can leave a longer starting end, and then just baste through the stitches at the bottom to close it up.
@fantasticmio if you could make a video with 4 weight yarn using the drawstring technique you just explained that would be amazing. I have been using a sentro for about 2 years now. It completely destroyed my shoulder AND it doesn't take 4 weight yarn or anything bulkier at all. Unfortunately only 3 weight works on it. I would love for you to show this double layer technique with 4 weight (and no brim since the hat can be rolled up to make a brim once it's done). Hope this makes sense! Thank you so much for the amazing video ❤
You explain everything really well and it's very easy to understand even for a beginner. I have a question tho, i know how to knit using circular needles and i usually do around 100 stitches of 1×1 rib pattern for a beanie. I have never used a loom and wanted to learn knitting on one. So my question is, does the fabric knitted in a loom is as stretchable as of the needles and what size of loom and yarn should use to make a beanie?
The stitch I use on my looms is equivalent to the twisted knit stitch, which isn't as stretchy as stockinette, and definitely not as stretchy as 1x1 ribbing. That being said, you can absolutely do both of those stitch patterns on a loom (I just don't bother). These round loom sets are typically best used with a chunky yarn (#5 on the ball band), or something you'd use size 8 or 9 mm needles with. I use mostly the 36 peg loom for hats. My best advice is to try making one and see how big it turns out to be.
Hi I wanted to make a hat because it's getting cold. I found your video and made my first hat it was beautiful. I specially like how easy it was to bind off. Thanks
Is the largest loom actually too big??? I'm trying to learn and several videos I've seen use the 40/41 peg loom but the hats don't look too big. I'm confused.
I've scanned many patterns and videos, but this was the easiest and most thorough to follow and the presenter is so kind!
Aww, thank you!
Just completed my 1st hat following yr video, thank you, very simple and easy to follow 😊
That's fantastic!!

Super goede uitleg
Bedankt!
Thx!
About how long would it take a complete beginner to make one of these hats?
It really depends on the beginner. I'd book yourself 3 hours and see where you get.
Is this what u were talking about earlier
Maybe? I don't remember
Is the largest loom actually too big??? I'm trying to learn and several videos I've seen use the 40/41 peg loom but the hats don't look too big. I'm confused.
It depends a lot on your gauge and what stitch you're using. If you're getting hats you like, then that's all that matters.
@@fantasticmio Thank you for reaching out!
I get laddering if I don not use the achor peg.
That's odd...
Wby don't you use your needle?
Which needle?
You could take the stitches off your loom with your large eyed needle. Seems it might be quicker.🙂Just an observation.
Nice mdm
the Purple one has 31 pegs not 29 pegs
Is that dk or chunky yarn
It's a chunky yarn (#5 on the yarn label)
