Why can't you do this same technique on the body of the hat? Or are you saying you can't do it on hats that are vertically striped? Because if it is one color or horizontal stripes, all you would have to do is after the body is knitted, pull the stitches out as before but only down to the brim. Use your live stitch (or loop) to put your crochet hook and continue with the crochet chain method you used on the brim.

Really not seeing how this is quicker since you must knit first, tear it out, then crochet the stitches again. Can see this technique useful if you changed your mind during a project, but,as for it being quicker, not really. Why do work only to tear it out and replace it on purpose?

I just finished reworking one cuff.. had done the whole thing in ewrap knit stitches and wanted it to look more like a traditional ribbed cuff and hopefully be a bit more snug. This was FAR quicker than to pull the whole thing out and start over. It takes about a min for each row of purl stitches (22 stitches in all) and has snugged up the cuff nicely. Yay! (c;

Great idea! I'm making mittens (ewrapped) & this goes so much faster! If you're doing ewrap for the knitted portion, the loops will be sized better if you first give a twist to the yarn as you crochet towards the peg. The first stitch requires it also, just hook, twist & remove the first loop, insert the hook the right direction. Then grab your next two strands, give a twist in the same direction & pull that loop thru your loop on the hook. Worked great!

I do purls the same way, except I use the Latch Hook Tool from my Bond Knitting Machine instead of a crochet needle. It's way faster that way.

Hi Mike, I would really love to know the answer to this as well. I just started looming and don't know much yet, but this is one thing I really want to know as I'd like to loom a scarf sometime soon.
Thank you!! Do you sell your videos?
