Our school colors are royal blue and bright yellow, so I got the idea to make school color hats. One issue with these Knifty Knitter looms is that you have to either use very thick yarn or double lighter-weight yarn. I bought some Red Heart yarn in royal and bright yellow, and doubled up to make one, of what I hope with be a few more knit loom hats in our school colors.
While club members have taken to the loom pretty well, it still takes a few hours to get one adult hat made, so we haven’t gotten really far in making as many hats as I had hoped in time for our November holiday show. I took a few skeins of yarn home this weekend, and voila, got at least one hat made. I started it Saturday afternoon, made some major project that night while watching a movie with my hubby, and then finished it up the next day. It turned out great. I’m glad to see that my tension is now a lot more even, so there are no weird burgery spots. Now I just have to figure out how much to sell the hats for.

Those look really warm and toasty. I have to get one of those looms! Thanks for sharing, Tammy.
