New Completed Project


This is one of my finished loomed projects





I followed this pattern from rostitchery i'm a knifty knitter BumbleBee hat pattern except I did my hat somewhat differently:
you need: 2 rolls of camoflauge yarn, use two strands of yarn held together for the camoflauge color, green knifty knitter loom, loom tool, tapestry needle

BRIM: Crochet chain one row then flat/u stitch three rows and then purl three rows, do not cut yarn.

FIRST EAR FLAP: count 6 pegs to the left of the holding peg, then using the camoflauge yarn *make a 3-peg I-cord (see below for instructions). then e-wrap and knit one row (3 stitches). increase one stitch at the beginning and end of the next 3 rows (see below for instructions), giving you 9 stitches. e-wrap and knit 5 rows even, then cut yarn leaving a 4" tail.*

SECOND EAR FLAP: count 9 pegs to the right of the holding peg, then repeat above between *'s.
BODY OF HAT: starting back at the beginning peg and using the camoflauge yarn, e-wrap one row, then knit. when you get to the ear flaps, knit 1 over 2 (one loop over two loops). e-wrap another row, knit, this time when you get to the ear flaps, knit 2 over 1 (ear flap loops will now be knit into the hat).
e-wrap using the 1 over 2 and 2 over 1 when getting to ear flaps.and knit until hat is desired length.mine was seven inches.just like when loomknitting a regular hat .
3 peg I-cord: wrap three pegs, then take the yarn back to the first peg SKIPPING THE SECOND PEG, rather than knitting back over it to get to the first peg. e-wrap the three pegs again. knit. repeat until cord is as long as needed.

increasing: wrap the empty peg next to the beginning or end of the row TWICE, and knit this additional stitch with the rest of the row.
Note:I should have knitted the I-cords on the small blue loom then attach to green loom,hat pattern.
