thank you for this great and easy to follow tutorial!!! :) I am also making them for charity and you made it so easy to learn! finished one in under an hour and I am confident to make many more! thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video! I was frustrated to tears because I could not figure out the instructions to my new knitting looms. And it is so easy!
I watched this video and just think of how easy is, but the best thing ever is that you are a great teacher, and now thanks to you i want to learn, just don't know where to buy the materials, i am in Toronto(Canada).Thank you for ur videos.
I was wondering what you mean it creates a nasty scene if you dont stop the peg before each time verses going all the way and end the round right before the peg you started on?
@CandyCanecls1 he is saying that because there will be an ugly seam up the back of the hat and stopping at the peg before each time helps make the seem look better......cathy@mikeys helpdesk
Hello, after i saw ur vids it intrigued me to see how easy it is to create something.. now i have a question.. is it possible to inclued little pearls during "knitting"? and if so how to manage it. Thanks in advance.
I watched this video month ago now back to making hats I did a bobo will this hurt when I got to the time to make the brim brung the bottom loops up and over buried the lose yarn then brung the botton loop on the loom over the brim loops I just bruung up to make brim instead doing one more time all the way around then taking the middle row over the top and then the bottom over the top to make one row? Did 5 hats this was
@ariescutie76 to make your hats less holey....try using two strands of yarn instead of one if using a 4ply yarn or a thicker yarn like a 5-6 ply..... I think that will give you the tighter, less holey look your looking for.....cathy@mikeys helpdesk :)
OK! I am left-handed. So I need to do the opposite of what you are doing? Do you know if it is easy for a lefty to do it right handed? These will be great to donate to the childrens hospital!
@viennadawn Hello.... Mikey is right handed and is wrapping counter clock wise if you are left handed he suggests that it might be easier for you to wrap clockwise....everything else would be the same....hope that helps....Merry Christmas... Cathy@ Mikeys helpdesk :)
OOOH WOW I see a professionaly nlook brim. Got looms but didn't work with them much. Will be starting in the new year. Thanks for posting. I'm learning a lot! :-D
Thanks so much. I was having problems trying to start off and finish and you answered my questions! How many rows do you usually use on an adult hat and how many for the rim as well?
@ChuckSecret2007 No it would not work. There are different sized looms you can work with according to size. The purple loom is for adults, you can pick it up at a local craft store.
Hi Mikey I just want to say thank you I watched you tut and i made my first hat but my baby girl's head was a bit bigger than i thought so now that i now how to make the hat i will try again thank you so much oxoxox
So this is for a baby right, i want to make one for me (adult) so if for the baby size you do the 6 points and then 15, how would that change for an adult size hat??? please?
I purchased a loom kit yesterday and finished my first hat today thanks to your video tutorial. Thanks much for teaching us how to make hats. Now I can make hats that fit my style. WooHoo!
wow, wow, wow..thanks, thanks. thanks...i just made a gorgeous hat, just following your instruction. You rock.....I am very happy it is my first knitting project...love you.....
@dashorty808 this is for a preemie it may fit a small sz newborn for a bit but your best bet is to go with the next sz up loom for a newborn baby hat cathy@mikeys helpdesk :)
@mikeyssmail i have been reviewing everything under baby's hat and i only seen crocheting and im doing the hat on a round loom. i would just use the next size up from the 24 peg?
When closing off the crown of the hat,you mentioned leaving about 18inches of yarn. Does the length of yarn needed, vary when making larger hats for adults as apposed to baby hats?
You did an awesome job, I've already made 2 hats now for my 3month old daughter! Thanks so much...I'm showing my friends your video tonight, it's our new project!
wow im wanting to learn this and you just made it so easy looking im going out this weekend to buy some things to get started. what should i buy? i love your videos you explain them so simple thank you so much.
This was just what I needed! I have a project (Emma and Hannah's Gift on Facebook) to honor my daughter's in heaven. I have crocheted hats, blankets and booties and was looking for something new. This was so easy to follow! Thank you!!!!!!
Mikey, I like your tutorials but end up getting frustrated with so many of them. Thankfully, this one is complete, and great! But your others that are 70 plus videos ranging from 3 minutes down to 30 seconds ... whats up with that?? It's very difficult to find all the numbers associated with a project when there are so many. Thank you for making this one tutorial!
Thank you mikey! You did an awesome tutorial on the baby hats. I am doing a humanitarian project for "Period of Purple Crying Caps" for the month of November to creat awareness of shaken babies. We are trying to make tons of purple newborn caps. This is great for people that do not crochet or knit. Awesome.
i made this hat using only 1 strand (left handed beginner - didnt expect it to turn out first time). followed everything exactly except i used my left hand with the needle to pull over) great until it came time to finish off and take it off the loom with the needle. when i did it the loops didnt end up like mikeys. i tried going in the opposite direction also and this cured it a little bit and i was able to fix a botched job, but is using only 1 strand the culprit for this little fiasco??
everytime i have use my loom (same ones you have) the spacing is always wide giving it a very open appearence does using 2 strands together prevent this when using regular (weighted) yarn, the open appearence made me stray from the loom, would love to try the loom again
@duckyduck09 Yes....using two strands does fill in the gaps!!!! sometimes a thicker yarn like 5 or 6 ply fills in the gaps with only one strand hope this helps ....chanel@mikeys helpdesk
@mikeyssmail thanks, i just started one with two strands though the gaps are still there but definatly lessened , when this is done i am going to try chunky yarn, love the videos gives me hope that my kniffty knitters weren't a waste of cash, and can produce something decent without chunky yarn...though i am going to try that next, thanks to you my looms are now out of retierment! thanks for the video and for keeping new little heads warm w/ your donations!
hi your video was great i made a baby hat in 45 min i was wondering if you new the number of stiches with brim for the other size hats (child,adult,and large adult) thank you so much :D
@TheSeri30 mikey has other videos on youtube for an adult hat but not the other sizes you asked for..... for those you could probably find a number of patterns online........chanel@mikeys helpdesk
This is a GREAT tutorial...I am nor starting to make preemie hats for our local hospital in Ventura, CA. I am very grateful for the work you did. It made it very easy to understand and I have made my first hat! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Cindy
So grateful for this tutorial. I recently inherited my Mom's set of rings and there were no instructions. Now I'm really excited about getting started. I found that little hook among her crochet supplies, too, thank goodness. Thanks Michael for all the details!
Super super super helpful! I have wanted to learn how to knit for awhile now! My dad bought me a lot of knitting supplies and books- but they were really confusing and not that detailed. I sat down and watched your video and knit my first hat today- it turned out perfect! Thank you for being so helpful, it's truly appreciated <3

I think that is a great idea to have a brim on the hat!...Thank you for inpiring me to make a hat with a Knifty Knitter! I have started a hat with a brim and i love,love,love the idea.....Did you come up with that?To charity?...how sweet!!

i just finished a hat for my uncle its the third thing ive made o the knifty knitter and because of this vid its the best :D Than you mikeyssmail!!!!!!
Greetings from Down Under.....I recently bought myself a set of looms and have found your video's absolutely fantastic....So easy to follow...I have knitted up a couple of preemie hats for my daughters dolls...They love them...
I have found the row count for adult hats, but am unable to find a count for a childs hat...Should I just split the difference between the preemie hat and the adult size??? 20 rows for child size????
thx for the vid! much easier to follow than the instructions that came with the loom. i want to try a scarf with the straight loom next. do u have any scarf tutorials?
Looks like a candy cane. But see, somehow... following all your directions... my rows get tighter and tighter... I can't seem to get enough slack in my line to pop them over the top of the peg... but when I wrap the pegs, they're LOOSE... LOTS of give... I don't understand.. can you help me?
Booga booga booga! I'm going crazy and pushing my stitches all the way down to the bottom of the pegs! Someone call a psychiatrist! LOL JK, nice tutorial, I'm going to do this except with the largest ring for an adult hat.
how would I make an adult hat I was following this video then I noticed it is for a small child ... I have looked for other videos but none are as informative as this one ... is it possible to follow this same pattern but to add more rings to the hat?
how kind of you. I know those babes will look so cute in your creations...thanks for this video, I never knitted in my life. I am a bit scared to try I am left handed so I get a bit confused at times. Can I do what you did only backwards? Will that work okay?
When I read the pamphlet that came with my looms, it said to anchor yarn on the outside peg. Does it matter if you use the anchor peg on the outside of loom?
@belindajane59 mikey slipknots and puts the yarn on the forst peg he is going to use it is anchored by the slip knot...... this is how he does it......you could do it either way.... mikey usually does thing in easier ways than directions say but its really whats easier for you!!
When I read the pamphlet that came with my looms, it said to anchor yarn on the outside peg. I noticed you kept it in your hand, instead of anchoring it. Does it matter if you use the anchor peg on the outside of loom?

Omg this has helped me sooooo much! thank you for uploading this video, I've never used a loom for knitting but this seems so much easier than normal knitting for a newborn beenie :) thanks again!
Thanks for posting this video! I'm new to the knitting / crocheting world. The directions that came with my knifty knitter confused me, where the hook is concerned (this can be seen in your video from 3:10 to 3:15) I was doing it completely wrong!
Thank you so much. So well-spoken and easy to understand. I made my first hat with you and will be making a few more for a charity Christmas drive. You rock :)
@Zambaku heya this chanel from the crochet crowd helpdesk aka mikeyssmail,
Actually to whip up an adult hat on a loom doesnt take too long but really depends on your skill level and how much time you have to dedicate to the project!!
Thanks for the video! You do not need (or want) a brim on babies hats all the time. Sometimes it is too tight. Just wrap the loom 3 times when casting on.. then knit the 1 over the 2... it creates a braided type rim. I do that & then just ewrap 20 rows and gather it to cast off. I have never had a seem either.. not sure why yours does that. I have never seen it before. lol. Off to watch your other videos!!
well in making a hat but the loop on the inside keeps getting bigger........is that supposed to happen. its for a school project so i need to know soon
Mikey, I just want to thank you so very much for taking your time out to show people how to make things, I have always wanted to learn how to make a baby hat and sweater so I made a hat from a loom along with your tutorial, it is just the cutest little hat, you are truly appreciated.......Margie in Pa.
This is a very good instructional video. Being left handed, as I am I followed the instructions going in the opposite direction than the right handed instructer said to do. It worked just fine for me so if you are left handed don't fear. We lefties can use these looms.
Thankyou so much, i brought a really cheep loom from the £1 shop and couldnt follow the instructions because they were just so confusing so i thought i would youtube it and now i have a baby hat to show for it thankyou so much!!!
I wanted to thank you for posting your video. It was very well done. I was able to make a respectable looking hat in a short amount of time. I work at a hospital and love your idea of donating to the nursery. You're awesome!
@momof20046 There is an ELF and SANTA Hat that is posted on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL... you can follow that... you need the next size up RIng that's in your package...and follow that Tutorial. :) Michael
@salldarling The rings are in most LARGE RETAILERS CRAFT SECTION... they come as a 4 pack... they come with a HOOK and Plastic Needle as well. Usually Walmart has them for 15 - 20 bucks.
Thanks soooo very much hugs to you Mikey for making knifty knit knifty and fun and easy with all of your videos !!!! I am enjoying everyone and put them in favorites for future references. I made a baby hat but I just ordered thicker yarn the yarn i used was very fine, I will try the double yarn and triple thanks to your instructions :) Keep doing what your doing loved the shaw hehe tooo fun:)
Mikey Mikey Mikey, If I could see you I would kiss you, I bought some looms a few years ago and could never understand the dang instructions. Your instructional video was awesome, and now I know how to do it. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!
Mikey, you are awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. I just bought my KK and after looking over the book instructions...ughh I wasn't too excited, but luckily for me I found your videos! I finished my first baby hat last night! Do you take requests? Is there an easy way to add a pom pom to the top of the loomed baby hats? Thanks again.
thank you for the videos! my daughter just told me this morning that she wanted to knit and i was kind of lost while looking at the knitting section at walmart but i will be headed there and pickiing up the kit and start my own father-daughter time with my girls... will let you know how it goes.
This looks so fun and easy!!! Im 26 weeks pregnant and I know my grandmother is knitting me all kinds of stuff but if she wasnt I'd be making my own using your video!!!
That was great from start to finish. What is your counts for kids hats (using the slightly larger loom) and adult hats for the brim count then how many out from there? I have the kid hat sized loom and would love to try one for my daughters and one for me on the adult hat sized loom, just wondering the brim and length counts. Thanks
Hi Mike, watch your rectangular loom video and found out why the yarn was twisting. You have it laying next to your loom. I had it on the ground in the glass vase I use to hold my yarn when I'm knitting the traditional way. Makes a big difference! Thanks!!
I have been having the same problem recently. The two strands twist together then gets tangled. I have to keep untangling the two strands every so often. I was wanting know to know why the strands do this and is there a way to prevent this in the future. Thanks.
I did a hat with my daughter. I did not get the seam, but the last peg wrapped was the first one off. That way the yarn would not flip off. I used two colors, but, I wrapped one, did one in the middle, did a third in the first color, came out great. Good father-daughter time.
I am confused. I never get a visible seam on any of my loom hats, but I do two things differently. I start on the peg off the round loom and secure my loose strand there whenever I go around the loom again with a half-hitch. I do not skip any stitches. I think securing it means that the seam is so tight I don't see it. It makes pulling the first loop off harder but worth it. Also, I always work in the same direction. I wrap and loom in the same direction, this may also affect it.
thank you for this great and easy to follow tutorial!!! :) I am also making them for charity and you made it so easy to learn! finished one in under an hour and I am confident to make many more! thanks again!

Greetings from Down Under.....I recently bought myself a set of looms and have found your video's absolutely fantastic....So easy to follow...I have knitted up a couple of preemie hats for my daughters dolls...They love them...
I have found the row count for adult hats, but am unable to find a count for a childs hat...Should I just split the difference between the preemie hat and the adult size??? 20 rows for child size????

how would I make an adult hat I was following this video then I noticed it is for a small child ... I have looked for other videos but none are as informative as this one ... is it possible to follow this same pattern but to add more rings to the hat?

When I read the pamphlet that came with my looms, it said to anchor yarn on the outside peg. Does it matter if you use the anchor peg on the outside of loom?
belindajane59 1 year ago
@belindajane59 mikey slipknots and puts the yarn on the forst peg he is going to use it is anchored by the slip knot...... this is how he does it......you could do it either way.... mikey usually does thing in easier ways than directions say but its really whats easier for you!!

Actually to whip up an adult hat on a loom doesnt take too long but really depends on your skill level and how much time you have to dedicate to the project!!

Thanks for the video! You do not need (or want) a brim on babies hats all the time. Sometimes it is too tight. Just wrap the loom 3 times when casting on.. then knit the 1 over the 2... it creates a braided type rim. I do that & then just ewrap 20 rows and gather it to cast off. I have never had a seem either.. not sure why yours does that. I have never seen it before. lol. Off to watch your other videos!!

This is a very good instructional video. Being left handed, as I am I followed the instructions going in the opposite direction than the right handed instructer said to do. It worked just fine for me so if you are left handed don't fear. We lefties can use these looms.

I think it will be easier if you place the bottom of the loop on the table so you don't get stuck whenever you do your yarn over.

That was great from start to finish. What is your counts for kids hats (using the slightly larger loom) and adult hats for the brim count then how many out from there? I have the kid hat sized loom and would love to try one for my daughters and one for me on the adult hat sized loom, just wondering the brim and length counts. Thanks

Hi Mike, watch your rectangular loom video and found out why the yarn was twisting. You have it laying next to your loom. I had it on the ground in the glass vase I use to hold my yarn when I'm knitting the traditional way. Makes a big difference! Thanks!!

I have been having the same problem recently. The two strands twist together then gets tangled. I have to keep untangling the two strands every so often. I was wanting know to know why the strands do this and is there a way to prevent this in the future. Thanks.

I did a hat with my daughter. I did not get the seam, but the last peg wrapped was the first one off. That way the yarn would not flip off. I used two colors, but, I wrapped one, did one in the middle, did a third in the first color, came out great. Good father-daughter time.

calcedoniabklyn 2 years ago
I am confused. I never get a visible seam on any of my loom hats, but I do two things differently. I start on the peg off the round loom and secure my loose strand there whenever I go around the loom again with a half-hitch. I do not skip any stitches. I think securing it means that the seam is so tight I don't see it. It makes pulling the first loop off harder but worth it. Also, I always work in the same direction. I wrap and loom in the same direction, this may also affect it.
