Lava Lamp is a two-color, sideways knit striped hat in garter stitch with short-row details. The wavy stripes reminded me of the undulating color formations of a lava lamp. Choose some bright psychedelic colors for a playful hat, or go a little more subdued with a neutral pairing. Skills used are e-wrap knit, purl, short rows, crochet cast on or optional provisional cast on, seaming or Kitchener graft.

Loom: 3/8 inch small gauge loom with at least 37 pegs flat knit

Yarn: two colors of worsted weight #4 yarn, 70 yards of each color

Notions: loom tool, yarn needle (if seaming), one movable marker, five stationary markers
