This is an adorable double thick knit hat done on the Addi Express King Size - 46 needle Knitting machine!  It can also be accomplished on a Small Gauge Knitting Loom. This pattern consists of machine knitting and crochet techniques It works up super fast on the machine for any member of the family. On the loom it will take time as you are doing it manually.

Please read through the pattern first

This pattern is completed on the Addi but the counts and rounds will work on the loom using the ewrap knit stitch.The yarns I used for this pattern are on the lighter side of a #4 worsted. Makes for a less bulky hat in the end I found.Your tension will play a big part in this pattern and will show in the resulting piece.. So that being said if you want a smaller hat use a firmer tension. I used a lighter tension as I wanted a lot of stretch in mine!

HINT : I always use a folded piece of wax paper to hold in my tension hand and have the yarn slide through it as I crank the machine! ( I treat my machine with kid gloves as I want it to last me a long time!) I have found using the technique that my piece looks better while almost never having issues with drop or twisted stitches.

So please think about the yarn you are going to use for this project as it makes a huge difference! I think Hobby Lobby’s I Luv This Yarn would be great choice! But I cannot get it here in Canada! Plus when I made this I had an order of 4 so I wanted all the same colors.

HINT Be Sure you machine is properly Mounted and secure!!! I also use the cupboard mesh liner under my machine ( see pic below )
