Loom-Knitted Hats
- Grades 9-12
Why buy a hat when you can knit one from scratch? Grab your loom and learn the ins-and-outs of two fundamental stitches — the knit stitch and the purl stitch. Then use your newfound stitch savvy to knit a hat, top to bottom. Learn to switch colors and patterns as you go, then top it all off with a handmade pom-pom made of yarn, or one of the faux-fur pom-poms included in the crate. Ready to get ahead on hat-making?

Behind the design
“After several attempts to start traditional knitting as a hobby and only making scarves before giving up, I was so excited to discover loom knitting. It was so much easier and more satisfying — I knew I had to share it with everyone! - Melissa, Maker Crate product designer ”
