This “straight up sideways” hat is created using short rows and worked on a either a1/2” gauge loom with bulky yarn or a 3/8” gauge loom with worsted weight yarn. The pattern includes instructions for making a hat with a cuffed brim or a beanie without a brim.

Lainey’s Hat uses approximately 130 yards of a bulky 5 acrylic yarn. Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Chunky in the Painted Canyon colorway was used in the sample. The worsted weight 4 sample used 210 yards of I Love This Yarn Print in the Moody Mosaic colorway.

Because of the short row construction, the pattern is suitable for an intermediate loom knitter.
