Video Loom-a-long for the Last Minute Slouchy Hat is up!
In part one, we cover set up of the loom and we work through the first 8 rounds of the hat. At the end of Part I, you will have the brim done–the part with the ribbing of the hat.
Gather your materials and let’s get started!
Last Minute Slouchy Hat Loom-Along. In part 1, we covered the first 8 rounds of the pattern. In part 2, we will cover Rounds 9-12.
Round 9: *yo, k2tog; rep from * to the end of round.
(How to: *Move the loop from the first peg over to the second peg, first peg is empty, second peg has 2 loops on it. E-wrap the first peg thus creating the YO. Then ewrap the second peg, lift the bottommost two loops off the peg. Repeat from * to the end of round)
Round 10: Knit with the e-wrap method.
Round 11: Move stitch marker one peg to the left (peg 2). This peg (peg 2) becomes Peg 1. *yo, k2tog; rep from * to the end of round. (How to: see Row 9 on the break down).
Round 12: Knit with the e-wrap method.
Part 3 will be posted next week–it will cover the Gather Bind off.
I currently have 3 sizes of your knitting boards plus the sock loom. I haven’t gotten a chance to make a pair socks yet but have started. As you can see on my website I have been busy making mostly jewelry.
I love the boards and have made dish clothes and washcloths. Started an afghan and working on that I am glad to see the pattern for the slouch hat I have wanted one. good luck to u thanks for what all u do

I have my very own all-in-one loom now (hooray!) and am getting ready to start this hat project. I want to increase the size a bit, since my head is a little bigger than average and I want to make sure it is still nice and slouchy…so I was wondering what the stitch/peg multiple is on this hat. Thanks for any help! : D
Slouchy hats are so popular these days. It’s fun to see that it can be made on this board!
I am making the slouchy hat when i move over on row 11 to left as peg 1 and keep moving to the left the yarn yarn is now about 3 inches behind pegs iam about mid way down the board and not sure if i just keep skipping pegs and move to left as peg 1 it just looks different
Sandy,
Can you take a picture of this and posted somehow so that we can see it? Your yarn shouldn’t be 3 inches long behind the knitting. It should only be skipping one peg every two rows or so.
I am working on the slouchy hat, and find the video very helpful and easy to follow. The moving of the stitch marker to the left, after the e wrap is done. Is this what makes the hat have that ‘slouchy’ look?
Back to work!
All I have are the Looms & Threads round set, can you tell me how to make this on one of those? I have a 36 and 41 peg round. I love your videos you have taught me so much
where is video 3?? im ready to bind off and not sure how.
There is no video 3 at this moment. When I was creating these videos my camera suffered death and video #3 never made it out alive. I haven’t had the chance to redo it since I got my new camera. However, the bind off is simple, it is just a gather bind off, just like any other hat, nothing special.
