Simple Garter Stitch Hat on an Extra Large Knitting Loom
This garter stitch hat is a classic. There is a really good reason for that and it’s because the garter stitch is easy to knit and it makes everything look great.
I used a super bulky yarn for a quick, warm, cozy winter wear. And, when I say super easy and super quick, I mean you can complete the pattern in 2 hours or less. I know this because I actually timed myself when I made the beige and brown hat. This makes it a great charity and gift giving pattern. By the way, the two-tones make it my favorite.
Another reason to consider the bulky yarn is the overall look of the fabric. Using a different weight will look a bit different. If you intend to use worsted weight you may need to as far as using 3 strands.
I will repeat this statement for the thousand time; be sure to watch the video completely before you start your project.

Does this garter stitch hat have a seam? All of mine do and I can’t figure out why.
Hi Elaine – here is a video that might help: Click HERE
It isn’t a ladder. I know what that looks like. It is a seam all the way up and it’s at the first stitch on each row. I wish I could send you a picture.
Its the same fix for both issues
I’m sorry I didn’t mention that I was speaking on the charcoal garter stitch hat that u just resently put up.
Hi, just let me start off saying I love your work and u make it so easy to understand looming. Ok..I need your help. I purchased a loom set online and it just so happened to be a small gauge set. Please tell me how to go by doing the slouchy hat and what yarn to use?
Hi Shae, it depends on the gauge. But consider using a #5 chunky instead of the super bulky and you’ll need to add more rows. I recommend measuring as you knit. This one is 11 inches in length.
