Easy Easter Hats
A loom knit hat in April? Well yeah. Some folks still have a little chill. If not , just turn the hat upside down, add an I-cord and you’ve got your self an Easter Basket.
But if you still are interested in the hat how about one that is extremely easy to do. Those are my favorites.
So what makes hats Easy Easter Hats? They are pastel in color, girly, and have a bows attached. That’s it. On this post I have included an easy to follow pattern and video for the hat and a cool video I found on YouTube for the bow. I hope you like them both.
Let’s start with the hat
The pink hat in the picture is just a beginner easy loom Knit hat completely made with an e-Wrap stitch and then pulled inside out so that it looks like you made a hat using the purl stitch. The reason I knit the reverse side is because it’s quicker and easier to knit the e-Wrap stitch then the purl.

Hi Denise. I want to tell you I really like your tutorials. I am trying to make a hat using the basket weave stitch where is want to change colors as you did, however I am having a hard time finding your tutorial in how to do it. Can you please send me a link. Thank you
Cheryl, I don’t have a tutorial specifically for the basket weave stitch – it is a combination of the knit and purl. I have a tutorial for those two stitches, how to change colors as well as a pattern for a basket weave hat

Is the first bow in the video the one used for the pictured Easter Hat?
Hi Allison, it’s actually the blue one in the video thumbnail.
any tips for a beginer loom knitter who has one hand paralyzed?
Hi, I use both hands so it may be a bit presumptuous on my part to tell you what would work best but here is my best attempt at an opinion. I think would be best to use a loom that gives you enough surface to hold onto with your body. Like say at a minimum a 31-peg even better the 36-peg. I did a post on another knitter that knits with one hand. Here is the post and the YouTube video. This may help give you a visual: Click HERE
This is adorable! I am going to make this hat for my little cousin to wear- she’ll look just darling in it! Thank you so much!! 🙂
Hello, do you think I could knit a baby blanket on the large round loom KK so I don’t have to find a KK long loom ..?
Thank you for your reply.
Yes you can, you just have to make flat panels and then sew them together. You can use the mattress stitch. Also consider the 10-stitch blanket or the baby blanket pattern by Brenda Myers
