LOOM KNIT STRIPED SLOUCH HAT

This hat knits up quick in one evening and would look great in any color!

I Loom Knit this hat for my oldest daughter to match a pea coat I bought her for Christmas.  It turned out so cute that I loomed her a matching pair of Boot Toppers to go with it.  Both items turned out really nice and I wanted to share the patterns with you!  I hope you like them as much as I do. #freeloomknittingpatterns #loomknitslouchhat #loomknitboottoppers #loomknitbootcuffpatterns #loomknithatpatterns

Finished Length:  9" but can be lengthened with blocking (if using natural fibers like wool) and assuming you are using similar weight yarns. #freeloomknittingpatterns #loomknitslouchhatpattern #loomknithat #loomknittingpatterns #loomknitstripedslouchhat #loomknitstripedhat
