Country Day Hat for the Loom

 This stylish hat has some great techniques to add to your loom knitting repertoire. The brim will show you how to shape fabric and wrap pegs with short rows; the band demonstrates how different knit stitches may be used to shape and turn knitting, and the crown of the hat has a simple diamond bobble design that lets you play with texture on a stockinette background. The pattern has variations for large, half and small gauge looms in seven different sizes: 41 and 42 pegs in 3/4” gauge; 48 pegs in 5/8” gauge; 59, 60 and 66 pegs in 1/2 ” gauge; and 72 pegs in 3/8” gauge.

Pattern notes:
The hat is e-wrap knit with two strands held as one strand. It is worked from the brim to the top in a simple e-wrap knit that allows the brim to curl. The brim is worked in the contrast cotton color, then the main color is used for the top of the hat and the bow. The wool is used for the hat, but not the bow.

My entry for the Markman Farms holiday pattern contest. The pattern is available through the Markman Farms group at yahoogroups.com. It is a fun pattern, but not difficult. There is no increasing or decreasing, just shaping with the stitches and blocking. Enjoy! You may click on the photos to see them in a larger size.
