thank you for all your help

could you try to be more clear? the way you jumped from step two to three was really confusing. especially picture wise.

This is how my wife made my hat. If you don't understand the color scheme, it means you haven't seen a little show called "Firefly."

[browncoatmal]

thats the most shiny hat i've ever seen. makes you look very cunning.

im learning how to knit and do all this stuff for the soul purpose of learning to make jaynes hat.

[f3rgette]

Pretty cunning. Possibly the sweetest hat ever.

"Man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything."

Wonderful 'ible. Thanks for the rim instruction.
Your little sister is just adorable. She is going to be a beautiful young lady when she grows up. She makes a great model for your great hats.

This was going fantastic, until I got to the part where you take the hat off the loom. Long story short, I'm re-weaving it and using my instructional booklet for the Garter Method. I'm sure it was my fault that I messed up, and I love how you made the brim.

P.S. Thanks for sharing this, now I have a nice weekend project. :)

I just gave one of these to my sister for Christmas!

Cool! I would love to see some pictures of other peoples hats that have been made on the loom!

Hope you like the hat..lol..I forgot to add that I used double threads while knitting on my store bought loom. One an off white and the other a gray. The loom is fun because it is quick to use. I have made several hats but usually only about two a year.

This is the last hat I made this January as it just got too cold for my regular hat. This one I made double thick. I added fantasy fluff yarn in the top rows and then made the pom pom out of the same black, brown and gray yarn.

Neat! I could use a knit hat. I plan to make a circular loom, and try this.

[Meesy7]

They are super easy to make, the one in this instructable took me at least 2 hours! I would love to see some pictures of the finished project!

1) What a beautiful little sister! She reminds me one of my granddaughters.

2) The step 2 is a key to understand how knitting, but the explanation is poor and the images are dark. Can you add some more detailed explanation? I like these circular looms, they are awesome.

3) Thanks for sharing your know-how.

[Meesy7]

Sorry about the bad explaination... I couldn't figure out how to explain that step very well. And some of the pics were taken by my brother, and my sister was so happy that she got some comments on how beautiful she was so thank you! :)

As soon as she starts making her next hat, better pictures will be taken.
