Paint Mines Hat

The Paint Mines Hat is a delightful and easy-to-loom knitting project that makes the perfect gift for any man or woman on your Christmas list. With its cozy design and stylish appearance, you’ll find it so enjoyable that you’ll likely want to create one for yourself as well! This fashionable hat is loom knitted on Knitting Board’s Flexee Loom Links Regular (1/2” gauge) using 60 pegs in the round, requiring approximately 80 yards of a bulky or super bulky weight yarn. For the sample, we used Northland Cavern [6] super bulky yarn, which consists of 70% acrylic and 30% wool, providing both warmth and comfort. The Paint Mines Hat pattern also includes detailed instructions for those who prefer to use a worsted weight yarn. If you decide to go this route, you'll need the Flexee Loom Links Skinny (3/8" gauge). This knitting pattern is well-suited for confident beginner loom knitters, as it incorporates a variety of stitches you already know, including e-wrap knit, u-knit, and purl stitches. Additionally, it will introduce you to the slip stitch technique, expanding your knitting skills. Designed with a 2-row repeat, this pattern is ideal for knitting while you relax and binge-watch your favorite holiday movies. As you enjoy the festive season, you can also consider creating a matching set by referring to my "Paint Mines Scarf" pattern, which perfectly complements this hat. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Paint Mines Hat is a fun and rewarding project that will keep you cozy all winter long!
