How to Loom Knit the Purl in 8 Hat AKA Not Crochet
In November the Purl in 8 Hat also known as the Not Crochet Hat and Cowl pattern was exclusive for Patreon patrons. I asked them about doing a video and many agreed for me to do a pattern video. So thanks again patrons for your generosity.
This is such a rich textured stitch which is now my favorite. I think you will agree with me. The stitch designer is Stephanie May and you can find her on Facebook and Instagram under the name, LoomaticFrindge.
Below the supply list and more information. Please note that the cowl is only available in the written PDF pattern.

Denise, can this pattern be done flat?
The hat can do done flat but the pattern would change
Hello. Is the yarn the wool ease or the wool ease thick and quick? Thank you!
It’s the Wool-ease : Click HERE
Hello Denise I just want to say Thank you! because of you I learned how to loom knit you were the only one that explained it in a way is was easy to understand.I love all your videos and instructions.
thank YOU !!!!
Love all of your videos especially your hat ones. I have a question about dishcloths. What yarn do you use most of the time? How do you decide how many pegs for 8 inch square if you use small gauge loom?
I always use cotton yarn and I mostly use the KB AHL . To figure out the 8 inches you will have to make a swatch
I want to make another of your hats, but I had a question- is the Purl in 8 hat a snug fitting hat or looser? In your video it seemed quite large but you didn’t show it on an actual head. It is a really beautiful stitch and I’d like to try it.
Happy 2019!
Hi Jessica, it’s a loose fitting hat – very slouchy
I have a question about the Santa/ elf hat pattern that you posted some time ago. Just wanted to know if I can use bulky yarn for that pattern if I am making it for a toddler and should I use a loom with a smaller base. ( 36 peg instead of 41). As always love your videos and I will definitely be making this purl in 8 hat!
Thank YOU Kamesha, Yes and Yes 🙂
What a beautiful hat! This pattern has inspired me, thanks for sharing.
I love your videos as your voice is so calm, the pace is perfect, and you explain the process so easily. You could start another business: “Denise’s How To Make Awesome Videos”.
There are many knitters who record instruction who need your help! 🙂
Wishing you and your family a joyous holiday season.
Thank YOU Cis – I laughed so much – You are SUPER sweet!
