How to make a Beanie Hat with a Round Knifty Knitter Loom

Type of Round Loom Set used in video → amzn.to/2zMw28u
In this video we are using the Knifty Knitter brand knitting looms, however, any round loom will work. This is the first of a series that will be uploaded.
What you'll need: Standard 4 Ply Yarn and a 36 peg loom for an adult size hat. If your loom is has a few more or fewer pegs than 36 that's ok.

This young lady is who taught me how loom my hats and thank her for it so much. My hats come out like a pro did it.

[@user-1A-2A]

I tried to learn from a different video. Yours is so superior. I feel confident now. And a big thx for showing some things that could go wrong and how to fix them.

[@CatScreenTime]

I too found it very helpful that she calmly showed how to fix mistakes.

[@StephanieSharp2]

This is the first and only video I’ve seen using a large gauge loom with size 4 yarn. I like the tip of using three loops on the pegs. The hat turned out great. I’ve only been using size 6 yarn on my large gauge loom. I did get a fine gauge loom for size 4 yarn, but now I realise that probably wasn’t necessary. Thanks for the informative video.

[@yvetteprescod3114]

I love how she is doing it I never know that I can wrap it threes thank you for showing me

[@claramaldonado94]

Thank you for sharing. You are the first loom knitter who did not knit and pearl. I will definitely try your knit. I have not done any yet. Thank you.

[@marydawson5750]

I never thought, I could make a hat on a looming machine, until, I saw your tutorial. Thank you for sharing your tutorial for making this beautiful knitted hat pattern on a looming machine.

[@marydoyle8513]

OMG, this is the " best of the best" for how to make a loom hat. I wish I had found this years ago. Your presentation is relaxing and easy, for me, to follow. Like your technique of wrapping the pegs with three loops of yarn. This is a easy and beautiful pattern.

[@patriciazamora4318]

Relaxing indeed. Very comforting voice :)

[@reetabhidubey]

If you are interested in knitting, kindly watch Aarya's Craft Time once. It is simple and easy tutorial for learning and if you like the video, please like and Subscribe on it. Thankyou!

[@jackielosey6392]

Thank You so much. This is a quick way to make hats. I got my loom today and I’m a little slow but with your great teaching I will speed up. Want to make as many as possible. Making them for the homeless. My sister in law is making blankets. Bless You and thank You

[@cavimike9734]

I can't believe I just watched this whole thing. I'm a total sucker for french tips and eye make-up. Well, time to go make a hat...

[@margaretsim459]

Very happy with your tutorial. You are very calm, no unnecessary dialogue and you have a very pleasant speaking voice. I have made a hat following your tutorial and, even though I say it myself, it has turned out very well. Thank you. By the way I am 88 and doing this for charity as well as keeping my brain active!! Have you a pattern for a tea cosy for loom knitting? An “old” friend has asked me to make one. Margaret

[@heididietrich3747]

I want to thank you for explaining simply about pulling the yarn only part of the way down. When my friend, Mrs. Higgins taught me how to knit, I always pulled the yarn tight figuring I was saving yarn. I have not seen anyone explain the reasons behind not pulling tight or all the way down on the peg. And explaining the flexibility of the yarn was cool. Some of us don't know these things. I love my loom and am so glad I started loom I.

[@kimmcmillan9533]

I made my first loom hat. I have had the stuff for about 5 years, she made it so easy. Thank you.

[@DebbieMartin4678]

That was hands down the best tut I've ever seen.

[@discoandben9313]

I loved that you showed mistakes and how to deal with them.

[@wandacuti9487]

WOW!!!!! I really enjoyed watching this video. In all the other videos and I do mean all the other videos I've watched on that knitting, they said iif you skip one you have to go back to the one you skipped and start all over from there. You showed me that even though I'm new at doing this I dont have to start over because I made one simple mistake. Now I know I'll be knitting hats for all eleven of my grandchildren. I was scared to even try before this video. Thank you so much.

[@gordonsimpson4867]

Thanks for the three row demo it's better than 2 row where I had large holes. Much tighter

[@kathryntoft7753]

Brilliant tutorial I made my first beanie with a brim but without the pom pom. You took your time explaining everything and slow enough for to see what you was doing in each step.

[@sharonbrown2468]

I really appreciate your hat video. I understood everything you said and everything you showed us! I have watched so many sad, awful tutorials, without learning very much. Thank you!

[@auntdizzydawn1981]

My 11 year old was able to follow your video! She got too excited and finished early and its a baby hat but she did it! Thank you a ton

[@jcLam-tg6yp]

I was thrilled with the results. Great instructions and technique. Had to abandon a previous hat from another instructional video because the tension was wrong.

[@riesagusewelle3794]

I only THOUGHT I knew basics of loom knitting! Great tutorial!!

[@ShellyAuen]

Just an fyi: I use a binder clip to hold my yarn on the holding peg while I'm knitting off the rest. Really helps if I need to put down my work so the yarn doesn't come undone until I pick it up again. Great video.

[@camdyn8553]

Pebbles Walk I just loop the one over firs

[@susanbowdley9283]

If it do the first two stitches either side of the starting off it won't come of

[@BecBec1967]

I use a cut rubber pen grip to secure yarn until I loom knit to it.

[@deenaordever6855]

Lovely . May I suggest that you leave the yarn that you use to tie the pompom as 2 long pieces and use them to attach it to the hat I find that much easier.

[@carollemieux7474]

It's easier and the pompom is more secure.

[@alishahalishah67]

Such a good teacher... I am from 🇵🇰 Pakistan I loved ur work u r great teacher for me good luck forever Allah blessed u ameen sum ameen

[@pattymullin8515]

Great video, very clear and excellent instructions. I want to say here that a square knot, which is the one the instructor says to use, makes a knot that is flat and incorporates beautifully into work. I have been knitting and crocheting for decades, and now hand looming. When using a square knot, you cannot see them and you cannot feel them. It's a personal choice, plain and simple, another option to use versus simply weaving in ends. I like the square knot and use it all of the time because I know that my work is secure. I also must say that it was extremely rude and quite arrogant for a viewer to have called this lovely, well-spoken instructor a 'terrible teacher.' It was an unnecessary and unkind remark to have made. The proof is in the hat... it's great, square knots and all, no bumps!

[@elkantan2570]

Patty Mullin totally agree

[@patriciamcphail6044]

I thought the video was very well done. I learned of my errors I was making when I first started loom knitting about 7 years ago but lost interest because I couldn't find a class to attend so I could knit with other loom knitters. God bless, and thank you for taking the time to give easy instructions, and telling us you really can't mess up. Does anyone on here live in the Medford (Oregon) area? I like knitting with others.

[@jeanettejeffrey3063]

had brought at auction all the looms the book was okay but you made it easier for me to understand. but I would not knot the rows. did a nice job thank you.

[@jennifersweeney9372]

Thanks you so much. I learned a beanie and scarfs from you. Now I need a whole video for a blanket.

[@bettyreynolds5106]

Thank you! I've been wanting to make some of those! I like that better than crocheting them!

[@carollemieux7474]

I think crochet hats are nicer, but they are harder to make and take longer. This is a fun, easy and quick way to whip up hats. Easier on the hands, too. Have fun!!

[@edenjoywholefoods6640]

I am happy I found this tutorial. It is excellent. I really want yo learn and make hats and socks and head bands. I am in Jamaica.

[@deniseseachrist1796]

This was one of the best instructional videos I have seen, I really appreciated that fact that you took the time to explain what to do if you did make a mistake along the way. I thought you did a great job going step by step and I did complete my hat. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video.

[@nancymohler2353]

I really like video l hope I don’t lose it . .

I watched a videos to learn how to use the round loom for hats and yours is the best.

[@athinagalanogeorgos8498]

this is by far the best loom video for beginners like me. Neat and clear. Perfection! Thank you :)

[@SuperTamig]

I have circled Pom Pom makers all different sizes so much easier..awesome tutorial I’m a knitter never tried looms going out to get one tomorrow

[@DenVaagheid]

For faster wrapping you can use a straw, or a broken pen (just use a tube), pull your yarn through, and start wrapping. it's really faster that way :)

Love this. I just finished my first hat. I'm so excited. 🎉

Hi i am from south africa. I am so pleased with your pattern. Very well explained. Thank you so much.

[@geraldinegoodson1346]

Thank you for sharing this video. It was absolutely Taylor for a beginner. I have started my cap. Again, thank you.

[@missylovell7200]

I really enjoyed watching this video. I’ve been a hat/scarf making fool since I learned to loom but really didn’t know how to change colors. Thank you again.

[@ClaireKillah]

Love it ....I am just learning this....love you showed mistakes so I can fix them when I make them,,,,bless you...

[@christinegauthier6290]

Yes finally someone who really knows how to loom knit your teaching was great thank you so much my hat is a succès cause of you. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Christine

[@jaeda123]

Informative, I especially liked how you showed the errors that can happen if you forget to wrap a peg or forget to knit a peg.

[@kristenreed420]

I totally love your video... you are an expert in taking your time and I love the fact you go slow and explain and show ALL your work and show the close up's of what your doing. And show it from start to finish. Keep doing more and more and more!!

[@AquaBlueStone94]

I bought the round knitting loom set from Walmart, and it has very poor instructions, on the back of the box. it makes more sense now that I've seen this video! Thank you!!

[@sandraimboden6660]

Wal Mart sells Boye. Their pegs are not as easy to work with. These are more like a mushroom than a pointy ‘finger’. Invest in one of the knifty knitters brand and the videos will help you. An ergonomic hook is also easier on the hands than the skinny ones. Maybe Joanne or Michaels, but not Boye brand.

[@thebigblueberry6334]

Wow thanks woman for in the second row you tell us to loop it twice that TOTALLY helps

[@d.raymond570]

Video well put......like the fact that your hand work and count is very......very......clear......

[@Slayking123rsa]

❤It. Need to get the knitting set nd start knitting. Practice makes perfect😜. Lke the way u teach. It's easy to follow. Thanks dear😘

[@deannaholcomb7976]

I absolutely LOVE this video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it very understandable❤

[@lauraann6634]

Thank you so much, I've watched so many tacky videos on how to do this and wow. I really did learn quite alot. You talk us through everything and very professional about the steps and what to do. Thank you!

[@augustgirl]

I seriously enjoy your tutorials. I get lost a lot in other users videos and I am right with you all the way. I've learned so much from this one video. Even to anchor the yarn to move the loops down some. I hope you do a lot loom tutorials , because you would be helping out this noob loomer big time. Thank you so much.

[@micaiahburk5376]

Thank you so much for taking your time to explain each and everything I love the way that you explain every detail I finished my hat please make more videos

[@robertafoster1980]

Thank you for this tutorial, I was wondering how to use my 4 weight yarn for hats without the holes!

[@toninasky1698]

Óooo9ooooo

[@de3182]

Same here. My first hat was not solid enough for my liking.

[@TheCoiledAnklet]

I find that doing two strands at one time is equivalent to a heavy weight yarn if you're looking for a stiffer, bulkier hat.

[@M.E.RWrestling]

This video was the best I've seen. Thank you so much

[@tammi67able]

Thank you, your hats are beautiful, thanks for your great video , I bought my looms last year I will use them this year thanks to your video.

[@handsOFmany]

Meredith Belk..... I've made several hats using my knitting loom... I've always used2 yarns at a time...The first person I watched making a hat on the loom made it that way...Yes they do come out thicker...

[@heididietrich3747]

You are so good. I haven't seen anyone explain counting rows.

[@andysnape4703]

Thank you for showing me how to make a hat as I usually crotchet blankets

[@karenschlef753]

Thank you. I made my 1st hat. Turned out perfect 😊

[@childrenofzion2817]

Thank you so much for this video it was easy to under stand and follow I can't wait to make hats for my family Jackie ❤️

[@linasbutcher1914]

@americanknitter I use to make these beanie hats for years and they always came out beautifully. But I see that it’s done differently now. For example when your wrapping the yarn around the pegs. Your seem to be wrapping it a little too tight. And you need to be aware of that. So as not to stretch out the yarn. Because it can stand to be a little looser then how you did it. And you didn’t show how you fixed the error. Of only having 2 wrappings of yarn instead of 3 on that one peg you showed us. When I use to make beanie hats. I always wrapped the yarn twice not 3 times and then looped it over on the peg leaving 1 wrap for each peg. And you wound your yarn clockwise where I was taught to do it counter clockwise. I guess it has been a long time since I’ve made any hats. So thanks for the refresher video. I think I will try it again.

[@helenah7668]

Thank you for the wonderful video! Made my first hat and ready to start another!!! Looks and feels great! Thank you for the great job on this video!!!

[@RangerCaptain11A]

i did the no brim, with pompom option for a baby and two adults. thank you

[@jacquelyng8065]

Love your video, I learned a lot, especially the way you triple wrap. I had been using doubled thread. Going to try your wag. Thanks for Sharing.

[@jacquelyng8065]

Not wag = way..sorry

[@adonnelly1683]

Your an excellent teacher, I just finish my first hat, my first time looming, and it turned out beautifully. Thank you

[@claramaldonado94]

Love your work. Question can you rap 1 x to the left and 1 x to the right to secure the stitches some how. Another knitter mention that. Thank you.

[@teohkummoi4538]

Very clear n precise teachings. Well done n thank you so much.

Is a square knot like a double knot. Could not see exactly what you did. Love this teaching. Hope u have more

[@RayonaWilsonbby]

Very great tutorial and I'm glad for this one cause kelt shows how to make the hat thicker

[@anorganlover6281]

Hello from the UK. 4 ply here means fingering in the US !The yarn used in the video is Worsted or Aran. A number 4 yarn, I believe.

[@loracornelius1581]

I made my first hat thank you so much for the very well illustrated video and instructions. It is a very snug hat i get my yarn from wal'mart what yarn is stretch so my hat will stretch

Thank you so much for the incredibly helpful video!! If I didn't change colors and didn't do a brim, how many total rows should I do for a Beanie?

[@proudlyjustbe6445]

The best tutorial. Thanks. God bless you

[@deborah575vt]

i love this pattern and have been following along and pausing to get caught up.... my question is, is there a spot here on the net that i can go to get just the pattern so i know what is coming up and color changes ect for like when i am not online and take my loom with me so i can continue and not have to leave it home while out and about

[@americanknitter]

At the moment we don't have a pattern for this one, but we do have lots of other patterns on our website Americanknitter.com in the free pattern section.

[@clairebacchi6398]

Great tutorial. I always weave in the loose ends, because the knot comes apart easily.

[@BecBec1967]

I use Deborah Shaws connection method of looping 1 yarn end over the next pulling them together.

[@judybattaglia3483]

Does it make a difference which way you rotate around the loom? I notice that you go counter clockwise and it is more comfortable for me to turn the loom clockwise and wrap the yarn counter clockwise. Thank you for this tutorial and your reply

[@TWBlack]

I noticed this video is from 9yrs ago but I'd never seen anything like these looms. I taught myself to knit as a young teenager, then to crochet a few years later. I don't care to knit anymore because crochet seems so much faster to me. These looms also seem to me to be rather bulky and hard to handle...can anyone that uses these tell me if they are? Also can you make afghans on something like these?? Thanks

[@carollemieux7474]

I think you're right on both observations. I would use loom projects as at-home projects. I am a crocheter, and crocheting is what I prefer to bring with me. Small projects travel well, large afghans and looms don't. My opinion only!

[@dixiemccollom8617]

I really enjoyed this video thank you for the step by step

[@AmandaLane]

Does it have to go clockwise around the loom? This is the first video I've seen where it was clockwise instead of counter clockwise. Also the first video I found with one string versus two which I find easier for children to do. Thank you for your help.

[@ThEhObBiT1959]
