I am not much of a knitter. I only remember finishing one needle knit project in my life which was a scarf from a kit my son got for Christmas. He got bored knitting after a few rows, so I finished it for him.
All that stated - I love knitting on the knifty knitter. I would say that perhaps I am addicted to loom knitting and I would love to start knitting socks.
I made this little hat for my new niece Evangeline. She is nearly one month and to be honest, this hat JUST fits. She will likely wear it a month and that's it. So, truly it is a newborn hat. I used the
Knifty Knitter red loom, two strands of worsted weight 100% wool. I based it on combining a pattern for a gorgeous needle knit
berry hat and an
apple hat pattern with a standard Knifty Knitter hat. I used a 1 over 2 stitch in an e-wrap. The sizing it important because I have read the smallest loom is for newborn hats, but I can attest this will not work as this is what I use for mittens. Also, the red loom is written to be for children 2-5. Wrong again. Firstly children 1 and up have big heads - babies' heads double in size the first year. I have used the green loom for children 2 and up quite easily.
I apologise for the strange background for the hat. I snapped this before popping it into the bag and arriving at our Thanksgiving destination.
